Analog Design Engineer

Job Title

Analog Design Engineer

Role Summary

The Analog Design Engineer will design, simulate, characterize, and transfer to production high-performance, ultra-low-power analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for hearables and wearables. The role works within a cross-functional design team (product, verification, process, test, applications) to meet PVT and product objectives.

Position requires hands-on circuit and block-level design, simulation, layout awareness, lab verification, and occasional travel (~10%).

Experience Level

Mid-level. Preferred ~2+ years of relevant analog/mixed-signal IC design experience; works under normal supervision with guidance from senior engineers.

Responsibilities

The primary responsibilities are to design and verify analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits and support cross-functional activities to release designs into production.

• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal IC blocks (sensor interfaces, data converters, multiplexers, filters, power distribution).
• Perform block- and transistor-level design, SPICE-level simulation, and debugging across specified PVT conditions.
• Collaborate with product definition, verification, process, test, and application teams to meet performance and production objectives.
• Verify performance across process, voltage, and temperature ranges and apply statistical design for robustness.
• Document designs, test plans, and results; prepare technical specifications for handoff and production release.
• Support laboratory characterization and debug using standard lab equipment.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for day-to-day success.

• Practical knowledge of analog circuit fundamentals: amplifiers, filters, and data converters.
• Working understanding of mixed-signal IC integration and implementation techniques.
• Proficiency with simulation and modeling tools such as SPICE and Cadence Design Suite; familiarity with MATLAB is desirable.
• Understanding of IC physical layout considerations and experience with layout tools and techniques.
• Knowledge of CMOS circuit design principles and practical application experience.
• Fundamental understanding of ADC/DAC concepts and implementation challenges.
• Laboratory skills: use of oscilloscopes, function generators, and spectrum analyzers for validation and troubleshooting.
• Ability to identify and resolve design issues with guidance from senior team members.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with IC design for sensor interfaces, data converters, or power management.
• Experience in hearables/wearables or ultra-low-power edge-processing applications.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field (e.g., Electronics, Physics, Computer Engineering). No alternative-equivalent-experience language specified.
