Analog Design Staff Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-performance standard cells including flip flops, latches, multibit flip flops, voltage level shifters, and power switches
• Build and refine post-layout extraction environments to validate circuit performance against parasitic effects
• Optimize digital and analog circuit topologies for power, performance, and area (PPA) across multiple process nodes
• Perform statistical and variation analysis using Monte Carlo and corner-based methods to ensure manufacturing robustness
• Apply knowledge of CMOS device physics, design rules, latch-up prevention, and electromigration constraints
• Collaborate with layout teams to close timing and power targets while maintaining design intent
• Automate repetitive design and analysis tasks using Python, shell scripting, or ICV

Requirements

• 5 to 8 years of hands-on experience in standard cell circuit design
• Strong understanding of CMOS device characteristics, design rules, and electromigration constraints
• Proven experience developing post-layout extraction environments and validating performance with parasitic-aware simulations
• Solid background in digital circuit design and optimization techniques
• Hands-on experience with statistical and variation analysis methods (Monte Carlo, corner-based)
• Proficiency in Python or shell scripting for design automation

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of standard cell layout principles and physical design considerations
• Experience with ICV for design automation

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
• Paid time away including ETO and FTO programs
• Family support including maternity, paternity, and adoption assistance
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) with a 15% discount
• Competitive salaries and regional retirement plans
