Analog Circuit Design Engineer
Intel CorporationJob Title
Analog Circuit Design Engineer
Role Summary
Design and optimize analog and mixed-signal circuits for power delivery and mixed-signal IPs in advanced CMOS process nodes. Work within a cross-functional engineering team to deliver silicon-ready designs that meet power, performance, area, timing, and yield targets.
Experience Level
Mid-level; typically requires 3+ years of relevant analog/mixed-signal design experience (varies by degree and background).
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Design and develop analog and mixed-signal circuits (amplifiers, LDOs, PLLs, ADCs) for advanced CMOS technologies.
- Perform circuit simulation and optimization to meet power, performance, area, timing, and yield goals.
- Execute analog block floor-planning and extract chip parameters to ensure robust designs.
- Conduct post-layout simulations with extracted parasitics and refine designs to meet specifications.
- Develop and implement test plans to verify circuit designs against microarchitecture specifications.
- Collaborate with architecture, layout, and validation teams to resolve design challenges.
- Evaluate experimental test data and iterate designs to improve performance, reduce leakage, and enhance robustness.
Requirements
Key technical requirements and preferred skills:
- Proven practical experience in analog or mixed-signal circuit design and verification.
- Practical knowledge of analog layout techniques, including matching, shielding, and parasitic optimization.
- Experience with Cadence Spectre/AMS Designer/Virtuoso and StarRC for schematic design, simulation, and extraction.
- Experience performing post-layout simulation and debugging silicon bring-up data.
- Preferred: expertise in power delivery and power management systems; hands-on experience transitioning designs from layout to silicon prototyping.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 3+ years of relevant experience; or Master's degree with 2+ years of experience; or PhD with no prior experience required.
