Principal Engineer, Mixed-Signal Design Engineering

Job Title

Principal Engineer, Mixed-Signal Design Engineering

Role Summary

Lead the architecture and implementation of high-performance mixed-signal ICs for industrial applications, focusing on clocking, synchronization and receive-path architecture. Join the Industrial Architecture Team to develop monolithic and heterogeneously integrated systems using fine-line CMOS and other process technologies.

Experience Level

Senior-level (Principal). The posting requests approximately 5–10 years of relevant analog design and integration experience.

Responsibilities

Primary technical and architectural responsibilities include:

• Serve as lead architect for clock generation and distribution in advanced mixed-signal ICs for pin electronic testing.
• Design, integrate and debug PLLs.
• Implement multi-GHz clock distribution and multi-chip synchronization.
• Design and optimize phase interpolators and circuits to measure and correct timing errors.
• Contribute to receive-path architecture and subblock specifications (e.g., CTLE, PGA, A/D converter).
• Collaborate with cross-functional development teams to drive product integration and tapeouts.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• 5–10 years of analog IC design and integration experience.
• Proven CMOS analog/RF IC design experience with multiple tapeouts.
• Strong knowledge of analog/RF circuits, communications theory (emphasis on wired-link equalization), MOS device modeling, and signal integrity.
• Experience with SerDes-related circuits and measurements.
• Extensive PCB design, troubleshooting and RF measurement experience.
• Demonstrated technical impact (patents, publications, or product leadership) and strong analytical and communication skills.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10% of the time.

Nice-to-have:

• Prior tapeouts in FinFET technology.
• Strong problem-solving orientation; ability to work collaboratively and proactively within a team.

Education Requirements

PhD required. Relevant fields include Electrical Engineering, Analog/RF, CMOS IC design, Communications, Physics or other related technical disciplines. The posting does not state an equivalence alternative for the degree requirement.
