Principal Engineer - Analog Design

Job Title

Principal Engineer - Analog Design

Role Summary

Design and validate analog and mixed-signal circuits for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. Work within an SoC/memory design team to drive circuit implementation, layout integration, reliability verification, and cross-functional manufacturability.

This is a hands-on engineering leadership role focusing on analog/mixed-signal circuit design, layout oversight, and technical guidance across product, process, and verification teams.

Experience Level

Senior-level / Principal engineer. Years of experience not specified in the source.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include circuit design, verification, layout integration, and technical leadership for analog/mixed-signal blocks used in HBM products.

• Design and implement complex analog/mixed-signal circuits (amplifiers, comparators, bandgaps, V2I converters, LDOs, charge pumps, oscillators, DLL, IO circuits for DDR/LPDDR, delays, sensors) in advanced process nodes.
• Integrate analog modules with the power delivery network and optimize for performance, area, and reliability.
• Perform circuit simulations and verification using industry-standard tools (FINESIM, HSPICE, Verilog) and incorporate parasitic models into validation flows.
• Lead layout activities: floor-planning, placement, routing, parasitic extraction, EM/IR analysis, and layout optimization to meet PPA and reliability targets.
• Validate and optimize designs for reliability, device stress, and aging effects; manage reticle experiments and tape-out revisions.
• Provide technical leadership and cross-group communication with Marketing, Probe, Assembly, Test, Process Integration, and Product Engineering to ensure manufacturability.
• Contribute to new circuit conception, standardization, documentation, and training across the department.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools and agentic AI models to improve PPA optimization and accelerate delivery timelines.

Requirements

Key technical and professional requirements for successful performance in this role.

• Must-have: Proven track record in analog/mixed-signal circuit design for advanced semiconductor process nodes and memory products; hands-on experience with the circuit types listed in Responsibilities.
• Must-have: Experience with circuit simulation and verification (FINESIM, HSPICE, Verilog) and with parasitic extraction and modeling.
• Must-have: Demonstrated experience overseeing layout flows including floor-planning, placement, routing, and EM/IR optimization.
• Must-have: Ability to validate designs for reliability (device stress, aging) and manage tape-out revisions and reticle experiments.
• Must-have: Strong cross-functional collaboration and ability to provide technical guidance to senior management and peers.
• Nice-to-have: Prior experience specifically on HBM or high-performance memory products; familiarity with IO standards (DDR/LPDDR) and power-delivery integration for memory arrays.

Education Requirements
