Staff Analog Design Engineer

Job Title

Staff Analog Design Engineer

Role Summary

Experienced staff-level analog / mixed-signal IC design engineer to join the Shanghai design team. Responsible for defining architectures and transistor-level solutions, driving complex designs from concept through silicon and production, and collaborating with systems, product, layout, test, and process teams.

Experience Level

Senior - typically 7+ years of relevant analog/mixed-signal IC design experience (senior/staff level expectations).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include circuit and subsystem design, verification, and cross-functional collaboration.

• Design analog and mixed-signal circuits at transistor, block, and subsystem levels.
• Translate end-application and customer requirements into IC specifications and architectures.
• Own designs through architecture, schematic design, simulation, layout supervision, post-layout verification, silicon bring-up, debug, and production release.
• Identify technical challenges, evaluate trade-offs, and deliver robust solutions with strong ownership.
• Optimize for performance, power, area, accuracy, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
• Collaborate with systems, applications, product, test, layout, and process teams across locations.
• Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, silicon debug, and mentor other engineers.
• Travel up to 10% as required.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience. Preferred items listed separately.

• Strong fundamentals in analog IC design: devices, feedback/stability, noise, matching, and transistor-level analysis.
• Broad hands-on design experience across amplifiers, comparators, references, data converters, drivers, sensing, protection, or power-management circuits.
• Proven track record taking IC designs through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release.
• Ability to understand system-level and end-application requirements and apply them to IC architectures.
• Proven problem-solving skills and ability to drive solutions independently.
• Experience with industry-standard IC design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice-to-have / preferred:

• Experience with motor control, motor-driver ICs, gate drivers, current/voltage sensing, protection, or power stages.
• Experience in automotive, industrial, power management, or precision analog applications.
• Experience with BCD/high-voltage processes and power devices.
• Strong silicon-debug and root-cause-analysis skills.
• Previous technical leadership or mentoring experience.

Education Requirements

M.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) with ~7+ years relevant experience, or Ph.D. with ~5+ years relevant experience; equivalent practical experience will be considered.
