Job description

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior or Staff Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Designer to join a world-class semiconductor team. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in high-speed analog circuit design—spanning wireline transceivers, RFIC front-ends, and precision data converters—and has a track record of delivering silicon in advanced FinFET or SOI processes. This is a high-impact individual contributor or technical lead role focused on next-generation silicon for data communications, wireless, and compute applications.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and verify high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits including ADCs, DACs, PLLs, clock distribution, laser/modulator drivers, and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs).
  • Architect and implement wireline SerDes front-ends, optical interconnect ICs, and multi-GHz analog signal chains from concept through tape-out.
  • Develop transistor-level schematics and layouts in advanced FinFET (7–16 nm) or SOI technologies; collaborate with layout engineers to meet stringent PPA targets.
  • Drive pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon bring-up; analyze measured silicon data and iterate on design to close specification gaps.
  • Partner with digital, CAD, and systems teams to define mixed-signal partitioning, interface specs, and shared design methodologies.
  • Produce detailed design documentation and present technical progress to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership.
  • Mentor junior designers and contribute to best-practice development across the organization.

Required Qualifications

Education & Experience

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (or related) with 6+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience, OR
  • MS. in Electrical Engineering (or related) with 8+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.

Core Technical Skills

  • Analog / high-speed circuit design: wideband amplifiers, comparators, bias networks, ESD-tolerant I/Os.
  • Laser/modulator drivers and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) for optical interconnect applications.
  • High-speed ADC and DAC design (pipeline, SAR, flash, current-steering); including low-speed (LS) converters for control and calibration planes.
  • Clocking systems: DLLs, resonant/CMOS clock distribution, fractional-N synthesis, jitter budgeting, oscillators (LC/Ring).
  • Hands-on design in advanced FinFET nodes (TSMC / Samsung 5–16 nm) and/or Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) processes.

Preferred Qualifications

  • RFIC design experience: LNA, mixer, PA driver, Broadband amplifiers, RF front-end modules.
  • Familiarity with high-speed wireline PHY architectures (56G / 112G PAM-4 SerDes, NRZ).
  • Background in optical module ICs (TOSA/ROSA driver ASICs, coherent DSP interfaces).
  • Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre / APS / Ultrasim, and industry-standard layout tools.
  • Proficient in designing RF passives like transmission lines, inductors, Tcoils, etc using EM tools like EMX, Peakview, etc.
  • Lab characterization skills: oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, BERT setups.
  • Publications or patents in analog/mixed-signal IC design are a plus.
