Sr. Staff Engineer, Analog Design
GlobalFoundriesJob Title
Sr. Staff Engineer, Analog Design
Role Summary
Lead architecture, transistor-level design, and silicon validation of high-performance analog and mixed-signal IP for advanced CMOS process nodes. Work cross-functionally with layout, verification, SoC integration and systems engineering across global teams to deliver reusable analog IP.
Experience Level
Senior - minimum 10+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal design as stated in the posting.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include end-to-end analog IP development, verification and silicon bring-up, plus technical leadership.
- Drive design and development of complex analog and mixed-signal IP blocks.
- Participate in and define architecture for analog/MS IP (signal chain and power-supply blocks).
- Perform transistor-level schematic design, simulation and verification using industry-standard EDA tools.
- Perform corner, Monte Carlo and reliability analyses to ensure robust PVT performance.
- Drive design reviews, verification strategy and silicon validation; own deliverables for SoC integration.
- Collaborate with layout, verification and system teams for parasitic-aware design and AMS simulations.
- Define validation and characterization requirements; lead post-silicon bring-up and debugging.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship; establish analog design and verification best practices.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience (concise):
- 10+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal design with proven delivery of complex analog IP from concept to silicon.
- Deep understanding of CMOS analog fundamentals: noise, stability/compensation, device mismatch, variation, and low-power techniques.
- Hands-on transistor-level design and verification using Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys and Virtuoso analog simulation environments.
- Basic scripting/automation skills (Perl, Python) for design flows.
- Proven silicon bring-up, debugging and lab-characterization experience; familiarity with lab equipment.
- Strong analytical, documentation and communication skills; experience working in global, cross-disciplinary teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with ISO 26262 / IEC 61508 applied to semiconductor IP/SoC development.
- Experience with analog layout techniques.
- Track record of technical publications or patents.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (as stated in the posting).
