Analog Design Engineer
RambusJob Title
Analog Design Engineer
Role Summary
Entry-level Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer assigned to the MIC Design team in Agoura Hills, CA. Responsible for designing, simulating, and validating high-performance, high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuits used in memory interface and silicon IP products.
This is a hybrid role (typical expectation: ~3 days onsite per week) that requires collaboration with layout, lab, verification and system teams to move designs from concept through pre-silicon verification and lab characterization.
Experience Level
Entry-level / Early Career. The posting targets recent graduates and individuals starting their engineering careers; no specific years of industry experience are required.
Responsibilities
Design and verify analog/mixed-signal IP and components, and support integration and characterization activities.
- Design, simulate and characterize high-performance, high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuits.
- Research and implement optimal circuit architectures for target specifications.
- Collaborate with layout engineers to optimize post-extraction performance.
- Document analysis and simulation results to demonstrate electrical and timing requirements and support pre-silicon verification flows.
- Work with lab and system teams for circuit characterization and validation.
- Create behavioral models for verification simulations and work closely with senior design engineers.
Requirements
Key technical and collaboration requirements. Items labelled "Nice-to-have" are preferred but not mandatory.
- Must-have: Coursework or practical experience in CMOS analog/mixed-signal circuit design.
- Good knowledge of basic analog circuit design principles.
- Ability to work effectively in cross-functional, globally distributed teams.
- Experience collaborating with layout and lab teams to meet post-layout and characterization goals.
- Nice-to-have: Familiarity with Verilog-A or Verilog.
Education Requirements
MS in Electrical Engineering or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0. Relevant coursework or experience in CMOS analog/mixed-signal circuit design is expected.
