Principal IC Analog / Mixed-Signal Design Engineer
Analog DevicesJob Title
Principal IC Analog / Mixed-Signal Design Engineer
Role Summary
Lead analog and mixed-signal circuit design for Data Center & Energy SoCs in advanced FinFET processes. This principal-level role combines hands-on transistor-level design ownership with technical leadership and mentorship across multi-disciplinary SoC projects.
Experience Level
Senior-level (principal). Typical experience: 12+ years of relevant analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Own analog architecture and circuit design for mixed-signal SoC subsystems: precision voltage sensing, ADC front-ends, voltage references, regulators, bias generation, and I/O interfaces.
- Perform transistor-level design, simulation, and optimization in deep-submicron FinFET processes; manage device-level tradeoffs (leakage, mismatch, reliability).
- Drive system-level analog/digital partitioning; define and validate specifications at block, subsystem, and SoC levels.
- Lead mixed-signal verification including behavioral modeling, co-simulation with digital, and corner/Monte Carlo analysis.
- Collaborate with layout, DFT, and test engineering to ensure DFM and production testability; support silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug.
- Provide technical mentorship and lead design reviews; establish reusable IP and best practices.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (architecture, digital, firmware, applications, customers) to translate system requirements into robust, manufacturable analog solutions.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- Silicon-proven analog/mixed-signal IC design experience in deep submicron FinFET processes; strong understanding of device physics, mismatch, leakage management, and reliability at advanced nodes.
- Experience designing precision analog circuits such as voltage references, regulators, ADC front-ends, bias generators, and comparators.
- Proficiency with industry EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS simulation environments).
- Proven experience taking designs from specification through layout, tapeout, silicon bring-up, and production release.
- Familiarity with DFT, production test, and design-for-manufacturability practices in advanced CMOS.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to present technical tradeoffs to cross-functional audiences.
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical design reviews.
- Willingness to travel approximately 10% as required.
Education Requirements
M.S.E.E. or Ph.D. preferred. B.S.E.E. with 12+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience will be considered. Equivalent practical experience is acceptable.
