Analog Design Engineer

OLIX • Austin, TX

2d • Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of high-speed SerDes and mixed-signal subsystems for a next-generation SoC. This role spans the full design lifecycle, from circuit implementation through post-silicon validation, across serializers, clock generation, equalization, and supporting analog blocks, requiring strong hands-on circuit design skills and a solid grasp of high-speed signaling fundamentals.
This is a highly collaborative, in-office role based in Austin, TX, working closely with cross-functional teams locally while also partnering with engineers in our London and Bristol offices to drive coordinated, global execution.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.
• Strong analog mixed-signal design background with hands-on SerDes experience at data rates of 25 Gbps or higher.
• Solid understanding of high-speed signaling concepts: jitter, noise, equalization, signal integrity, and link budgeting.
• Expertise in advanced FinFET nodes with solid grasp of device physics, parasitics, and layout-sensitive design.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and industry-standard simulation flows including PVT, Monte Carlo, EM-IR, and reliability analysis.
• Experience developing behavioral and Verilog-A models for mixed-signal verification.
• Familiarity with post-silicon bring-up, lab measurement equipment, and correlating measured data to simulation.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across analog, digital, optical, and system teams.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design high-speed SerDes blocks (serializers, TX drivers, TIAs, CTLEs, CDRs, deserializers, and clock generation) from specification through silicon in advanced FinFET nodes.
• Perform schematic and post-layout simulations (including EM-IR and reliability simulations) to ensure robust silicon margins, and own design reviews and documentation.
• Run EM simulations for passives, package interconnects, and on-die routing.
• Develop behavioral and Verilog-A models to enable system-level and mixed-signal verification.
• Supervise mask designers closely and provide floorplan and layout guidelines.
• Collaborate with optical, digital, and system teams on interfaces and link-level performance.
• Support post-silicon bring-up, lab validation, and debug.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: $317,000+ , commensurate with your experience, skills, and location.
• Meaningful stock options. You’re not just joining the mission; you’re owning a piece of it.
• Annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office.
• Comprehensive healthcare, generous paid time off, and wellbeing support, with specific coverage and entitlements tailored to your location.
• Employer-contributed retirement plans; 401(k) in the US, pension in the UK, and RRSP in Canada, to help you build long term financial security.
• M4 Macs come as standard, with M4 Pro upgrades for our engineering team. We will provide whatever you need to do your best work.
• High-spec noise-cancelling headphones and a fully ergonomic workstation designed for deep focus.
• Access to our high-performance 3D printing lab for work, experimentation, and personal creative projects.
