Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services

We are hiring for all levels of analog/mixed-signal ASIC design engineers from entry level to principal. Would you enjoy the challenge of designing integrated circuits for extreme environments and unique applications - from outer space to inside the human body? The Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Group at Draper develops analog and mixed-signal application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) for national security, space, biomedical applications, and more. We regularly engage with other engineers and scientists from all of Draper's divisions in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.

  • Design and simulate circuits at transistor-level to implement architecture and requirement specifications
  • Contribute to system-level design
  • Optimize hardware designs for performance, power, and cost
  • Evaluate the hardware feasibility of complex algorithms and requirements
  • Independently contribute to complex chip architectures and designs
  • Independently drive solutions to complex problems - develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt appropriately to changes in requirements
  • Contribute to business development and proposal activities
  • Develop, document, and teach best practices to less experienced engineers
  • Perform or guide physical layout, including floor-planning, and simulate circuits using extracted parasitics, contribute to design-for-test development.
  • Perform other duties as assigned
  • Proficiency in integrated circuit design
  • Understanding of integrated circuits, semiconductors, and general computer architecture
  • Ability to write detailed design specifications
  • Ability to lead multi-disciplinary technical teams
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Excellent mathematical skills
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Excellent time management skills with the proven ability to meet deadlines
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to prioritize tasks
  • Demonstrate strong organization, planning, and time management skills to achieve program goals
  • Requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related field. Masters degree preferred.
  • Requires 7-10 years of experience with a bachelor's degree, or 5-10 years of experience with a master's degree in ASIC Hardware Engineering or related.
  • MS in Electrical Engineering with experience designing integrated circuits
  • Experience designing analog and/or mixed-signal circuits such as
  • Amplifiers, bandgaps, and reference circuits
  • DACs and ADCs (Pipelined, SAR, or Sigma-Delta)
  • LDOs and Buck/Boost switched-mode power supplies
  • PLLs or other timing circuits
  • High-speed I/Os such as DDR or SerDes PHY
  • Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso
  • Analog circuit modeling with VerilogA, VerilogAMS, and/or SystemVerilog
  • Experience with MOS advanced nodes below 32nm
  • Experience with radiation-hardened electronics
  • Our work is very important to us, but so is our life outside of work. Draper supports many programs to improve work-life balance including workplace flexibility, employee clubs ranging from photography to yoga, health and finance workshops, off site social events and discounts to local museums and cultural activities.
