Silicon Design Lead - Analog Circuit

Job Title

Silicon Design Lead - Analog Circuit

Role Summary

Work with third-party vendors on external analog IP and design/develop in-house custom analog and digital circuits to meet AMD AECG project requirements. The role emphasizes analog and mixed-signal design, simulation, validation, and cross-discipline collaboration.

Join a team delivering advanced semiconductor IP and system-level solutions.

Experience Level

Senior-level (Lead). No specific years of experience are listed in the posting.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with architects, hardware, timing/PD, firmware engineers and external vendors to translate features into optimal analog/circuit design solutions.
• Develop simulation plans accounting for interactions with hardware, firmware, and other features.
• Perform simulation, modeling, and analysis to ensure compliance with performance and reliability specifications.
• Produce comprehensive technical documentation, including design reports, validation results, and test summaries.
• Support validation and debugging of analog and mixed-signal circuits during development and post-silicon phases.
• Drive continuous improvement of design methodologies, tools, and workflows.
• Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and share best practices.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• Hands-on analog circuit design and integration experience, preferably with sensors, die-to-die interfaces, GPIOs, or system-level design closures.
• Proficiency with circuit simulation tools such as SPICE, Cadence, or equivalent EDA platforms.
• Experience working with external vendors to close analog specifications and understand system-level dependencies.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; proven ability to deliver technical solutions in interdisciplinary teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to collaborate across sites and time zones.
• Ability to support post-silicon validation and debug mixed-signal designs.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with RTL design/verification or a solid understanding of digital design principles.
• Track record of invention disclosures or IP contributions.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Microelectronics, ECE, or a closely related discipline (as stated in the posting).
