Analog Design Senior Staff Engineer

Job Title

Analog Design Senior Staff Engineer

Role Summary

Lead design of high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits for die-to-die and IO PHY products. Work within the Vietnam analog design team to deliver silicon-proven IP for AI, data center, and 5G applications.

Responsible for full design flow from specification through layout collaboration, post-layout verification, testchip architecture, and silicon bring-up. Mentor junior engineers and lead cross-functional design reviews.

Experience Level

Senior - typically requires 8+ years in high-speed mixed-signal/analog IC design and 3+ years leading design teams or owning full design blocks from spec to silicon.

Responsibilities

Design, verify, and validate analog and mixed-signal blocks; collaborate with layout, digital, and system teams; lead reviews and silicon validation.

• Design high-speed IO analog circuits (CTLE, FFE, TCOIL, DFE), PLL/DLL, bandgaps, clock trees, and calibration circuits for UCIe and die-to-die PHYs.
• Collaborate with layout engineers and perform post-layout verification to confirm performance under real layout parasitics.
• Analyze and resolve signal integrity, power integrity, noise, and margin issues in complex mixed-signal systems.
• Integrate analog blocks with digital and system teams and support mixed-signal verification.
• Design testchip architectures, develop test cases, and run silicon bring-up and lab validation.
• Lead global design reviews and mentor junior engineers on design, layout collaboration, and verification.

Requirements

Must-have technical experience and skills.

• 8+ years of hands-on experience designing high-speed mixed-signal PHY circuits with a track record of tapeouts that worked in silicon.
• 3+ years leading design teams, managing projects, or owning full design blocks from specification to silicon.
• Deep understanding of analog circuit design fundamentals, including noise analysis, signal integrity, power integrity, and layout effects.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with layout, digital, and system engineers across distributed teams.
• Strong English communication skills for presentations, documentation, and cross-region collaboration.
• Experience with academic research or publishing is a plus.

Education Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD in Electronics Engineering, Electromechanics, or Telecommunications (degree in a related technical field specified).
