Staff Mixed Signal IC Designer

Job Title

Staff Mixed Signal IC Designer

Role Summary

Lead transistor-level design and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits across product lines. Work within an IC design team and collaborate with layout, verification, test, and system engineering to deliver designs from concept through silicon bring-up.

This senior role includes technical leadership, mentoring junior engineers, and driving complex design projects to production.

Experience Level

Senior — "Staff" level. Specific years-of-experience guidance not specified in the source.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include technical leadership of mixed-signal IC design projects and delivery of robust circuits to silicon.

• Architect, design, and verify analog and mixed-signal blocks (data converters, amplifiers, PLLs, etc.).
• Create and maintain transistor-level schematics and run circuit simulations, including corner and Monte Carlo analysis.
• Collaborate with layout, verification, test, and system teams to ensure manufacturability and design-for-test.
• Lead silicon bring-up, debug and characterize devices, and define corrective actions.
• Mentor junior designers and conduct technical design reviews.

Requirements

Must-have skills and practical experience for this role:

• Proven mixed-signal IC design experience at the transistor level and familiarity with analog design flows.
• Experience with circuit simulation tools (e.g., Spectre, HSPICE) and layout-aware design practices.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and silicon characterization skills.
• Effective collaboration and communication with cross-functional teams.
• Experience leading projects or providing technical mentorship at a senior level.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with data converters, PLLs, high-speed interfaces, or specific process nodes.
• Familiarity with modeling tools or languages (e.g., Verilog-A, MATLAB) used for behavioral modeling and analysis.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
