About The Position

As a Staff Mixed Signal Design Engineer, you will provide technical leadership in the design and development of sophisticated mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) including power management ICs, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and other mixed-signal blocks. You'll make critical architectural decisions, drive technical innovation, and establish mixed-signal design methodologies. Your expertise will bridge both analog and digital domains, enabling you to optimize system performance while mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance semiconductor solutions.

Requirements

• Make critical architectural decisions that optimize performance, power, and area across mixed-signal boundaries
• Drive complex integration of analog and digital IP blocks, ensuring robust performance across varied operating conditions
• Apply cutting-edge design methodologies and establish best practices for mixed-signal design
• Apply expert-level knowledge to architect and implement sophisticated mixed-signal circuits including power management ICs, ADCs, DACs, and PLLs
• Implement advanced techniques for optimizing circuits across multiple parameters including noise, timing, and power consumption
• Develop comprehensive verification approaches for complex mixed-signal systems
• Demonstrate mastery of industry-standard EDA tools including SPICE, MATLAB, and Cadence Design Suite
• Apply sophisticated simulation techniques to predict and optimize circuit performance under various conditions
• Guide physical design teams on implementation strategies to meet performance requirements
• Contribute to the development of new theories and methods in mixed-signal IC design
• Significantly contribute to project proposals, staffing, and budgeting forecast

Nice To Haves

• MSEE with 7-10 years of relevant mixed-signal design experience
• PhD with 5+ years of experience
• Demonstrated track record of successfully taking multiple products from concept through production release

Responsibilities

• Lead the architectural definition and design of complex mixed-signal ICs from concept through production release
• Drive technical decisions for mixed-signal block integration, considering system-level tradeoffs and performance requirements
• Provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers and influence design approaches across teams
• Make critical architectural tradeoffs based on parameters such as current vs. voltage mode, performance targets, and power requirements
• Develop comprehensive verification strategies for mixed-signal systems and lead advanced laboratory testing
• Represent the design team to other functions and influence technical approaches without direct authority
• Contribute to the development of new theories and methods in mixed-signal design and drive continuous improvement in design methodologies
• Lead complex projects with significant business impact, often directing work of others without formal management responsibilities
