Sr. Staff Engineer, Analog Design

Job Title

Sr. Staff Engineer, Analog Design

Role Summary

Senior analog/mixed-signal design engineer responsible for architecture, transistor-level circuit design, and silicon validation of high-performance analog IP for advanced CMOS nodes. The role works across layout, verification, SoC integration and system engineering teams to deliver reusable IP for next-generation products.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 10+ years of experience in analog mixed-signal design.

Responsibilities

Deliver and validate complex analog and mixed-signal IP, lead technical reviews, and provide mentorship and cross-functional coordination.

• Define architecture and drive transistor-level design of analog blocks (op-amps, comparators, ADC/DAC, bandgaps, regulators, monitors).
• Perform schematic design, simulation, corner and Monte Carlo analysis to ensure robust performance across PVT and variation.
• Collaborate with layout, verification, SoC integration and system teams to manage parasitics, AMS simulations, and downstream integration.
• Plan and execute silicon bring-up, validation, and characterization; define test and bring-up procedures.
• Establish verification strategy and own deliverables for integration into SoCs.
• Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and establish analog design best practices and reusable IP platforms.
• Drive design-for-test and cost reduction initiatives where applicable.
• Stay current with semiconductor design techniques and contribute to technical forums and improvements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, tools experience, and personal capabilities for the role.

• Minimum 10+ years of end-to-end analog/mixed-signal IP design and delivery, including concept-to-silicon experience.
• Deep understanding of CMOS analog fundamentals: noise, stability, compensation, mismatch, variation, and low-power design techniques.
• Proven ability in transistor-level design, simulation, and verification using industry-standard EDA tools.
• Experience with Cadence/Virtuoso-based analog simulation flows; familiarity with Synopsys and Ansys toolsets.
• Basic scripting and automation skills (Perl, Python) for design and verification tasks.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills; proven silicon bring-up and laboratory debugging experience.
• Ability to perform corner, Monte Carlo, and reliability analyses and interpret results for design robustness.
• Excellent communication, documentation skills, and ability to work effectively in global cross-disciplinary teams.
• Demonstrated leadership and mentoring experience within engineering teams.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
