Principal Engineer, Analog Design Engineering

Job Title

Principal Engineer, Analog Design Engineering

Role Summary

Lead architecture, block-level and transistor-level design for high-performance mixed-signal ICs used in optical controller products. Drive system-level trade-offs, define product objectives, and coordinate cross-functional activities from design and simulation through layout support, lab evaluation, testing, and qualification.

Experience Level

Senior (Principal) — experienced analog/mixed-signal IC design engineer. Years of experience: Information not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Define architecture and detailed design for high-performance mixed-signal ICs, making system-level and transistor-level decisions.
• Own block-level design and transistor-level circuit implementation with comprehensive simulation and verification.
• Develop product objective specifications including die size, package, pinout, block diagrams, and electrical specs.
• Support layout, lab evaluation, testing, qualification, and product engineering to ensure successful delivery and quality.
• Lead and mentor cross-functional teams and provide technical guidance throughout development and qualification.
• Travel up to 10% as required.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred qualifications:

• Must-have: Design experience with switching power supply circuits (PMIC/DC-DC) or precision ADC/DAC and demonstrated transistor-level design and full-cycle simulation/verification.
• Must-have: Proven ability to define product specifications and drive designs to meet electrical and system objectives.
• Nice-to-have: Experience integrating analog blocks (converters, power management, etc.) in complex microcontroller systems.
• Nice-to-have: Deep understanding of semiconductor device structure and fabrication processes.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills; ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

Education Requirements

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on analog/mixed-signal IC development (the posting specifies MS or PhD). No alternative equivalent-experience language was provided.
