Analog Circuit Design Engineer

Job Title

Analog Circuit Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design, develop, and validate analog circuits and mixed-signal IP in advanced process nodes, with primary focus on high-speed analog I/O and PHYs (DDR/LPDDR), LVDS, GPIO, and voltage regulators. Work within a cross-functional ASIC/SoC analog design team to meet performance, power, area, timing, and yield objectives.

Experience Level

Senior — 10+ years of analog circuit design experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Architect, design, simulate and optimize analog circuits (transmitters, receivers, voltage regulators) for high-speed interfaces.
• Create floorplans, perform circuit extraction, and develop behavioral and analog models for simulation.
• Develop and execute test plans; verify designs against circuit and block microarchitecture specifications.
• Collaborate with architecture, layout, and verification teams to resolve design issues and improve robustness.
• Optimize circuits for power, performance, area, timing, leakage, and yield.
• Document designs and report progress to cross-functional stakeholders.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Extensive analog circuit design experience targeting advanced process nodes and mixed-signal IP.
• Demonstrated expertise in high-speed IO/PHY design for DDR/LPDDR interfaces, LVDS, and GPIO.
• Hands-on experience with circuit simulation, extraction, and floorplanning.
• Proficiency with scripting/programming (Python, Perl, Tcl); familiarity with Makefiles and CSH desirable.
• Strong understanding of VLSI hardware design, logic design, and advanced process technology.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Knowledge of Verilog, synthesis, place-and-route flows, and signoff tools is a plus (nice-to-have).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronic Engineering or a related field. The posting specifies 10+ years of analog design experience.
