Analog Circuit Design Engineer

Job Title

Analog Circuit Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and verify analog and mixed-signal circuits and IP blocks for advanced process nodes. Work on transistor-level design, simulation, and cross-functional integration with architecture and layout teams to meet power, performance, area, timing, and yield targets.

Part of the analog/mixed-signal engineering team responsible for delivering production-ready IP for semiconductor products.

Experience Level

Mid-level — minimum 3 years of hands-on analog circuit design experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Design and implement analog circuits and mixed-signal IP at the transistor level in advanced process nodes.
• Create floorplans, run transistor-level simulations, extract chip parameters, and build behavioral models.
• Develop and execute test plans; analyze silicon and pre-silicon test results.
• Verify and optimize circuits for power, performance, area, timing, and yield (PPA).
• Investigate, track, and resolve circuit-level and performance issues; report status to cross-functional teams.
• Collaborate with architecture and layout teams to ensure robust electrical behavior and manufacturability.
• Reduce leakage, improve power efficiency, and enhance signal integrity across circuit types.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Proven experience designing transistor-level analog circuits in advanced process technologies.
• Deep understanding of analog circuit fundamentals, device physics, noise analysis, stability, and reliability.
• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre (or equivalent).
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with mixed-signal IP development and silicon bring-up.

Education Requirements

B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
