Principal Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Job Title

Principal Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Role Summary

Principal engineer on the ATE Industrial team responsible for mixed-signal IC architecture and implementation for high‑performance automatic test equipment. Work involves fine‑line CMOS and high‑speed bipolar technologies, chiplet/system‑level design, and close collaboration with cross‑functional teams to integrate designs into production test solutions.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 7+ years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

Primary technical and leadership duties:

• Lead architecture and detailed design of complex mixed‑signal ICs for ATE applications.
• Design wireline transmitters and receivers and develop mixed‑mode DFE solutions.
• Design and implement clock & data recovery (CDR) circuits and contribute to VCO/PLL designs.
• Apply analog and digital wireline equalization techniques and digitally‑assisted high‑speed analog design.
• Design custom high‑speed digital circuits and integrate chiplets into system designs.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship to junior engineers, and present results to stakeholders.

Requirements

Must‑have qualifications and desirable skills.

• Must-have: 7+ years of system design / architecture engineering and integration experience.
• Proven experience in RF or high‑speed CMOS and/or data converter design.
• Expertise with FinFET processes (e.g., 16nm, 5nm) or fine‑line planar analog CMOS (e.g., 28nm).
• Experience with software‑defined CMOS communications or radar system design.
• Proficiency in digitally‑assisted high‑speed analog design and wireline equalization (analog & digital).
• Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills.
• Willingness to travel (~10%).
• Must be eligible for roles that may require U.S. export licensing review (note: non‑U.S. citizens may need export license approval).
• Nice-to-have: project management experience, strong analytical/problem‑solving skills, experience with VCO/PLL, DFE, CDR, and high‑speed digital circuit design.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) required; Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) preferred. Fields cited: Electrical Engineering and related technical fields. No explicit statement offering an "equivalent experience" alternative was provided in the posting.
