Principal Mixed-Signal-Analog ASIC Designer
About The Position
Architect, design, and manage complex analog and mixed-signal blocks, including full-chip schematics. Develop and implement sensitive analog layouts; contribute to layout floor planning and optimization. Conduct detailed simulations to validate and optimize circuit performance, yield, and manufacturability. Perform signal integrity and system-level analysis for interfaces external to the ASIC. Create and execute comprehensive characterization plans; analyze and interpret lab data to validate designs. Collaborate with product line architects to evaluate system-level trade-offs in power, cost, and performance. Lead and participate in design reviews to ensure technical rigor and design integrity. Coordinate with Program and Functional Managers to maintain project schedules and ensure cross-functional alignment. Drive continuous improvement in ASIC design processes, tools, and team communication.
Requirements
- MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in analog and/or mixed-signal IC design.
- Proficiency with modern ASIC design tools (e.g., Cadence, Spectre, Virtuoso, etc.).
- Demonstrated expertise in layout design for critical analog/mixed-signal cells.
- Proven ability to characterize and debug silicon in a lab environment.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality technical documentation.
- Experience collaborating with geographically distributed teams.
- U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is required.
- 10+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design.
- Deep expertise in the design of amplifiers, samplers, PLLs, ADCs, and DACs.
- Proficiency in ADC and DAC architecture and implementation.
- Experience designing PLLs, DLLs, and clock distribution networks.
- Passion for staying current with semiconductor process technologies and a commitment to continuous learning.
- Ability to influence architectural and system-level design decisions.
