Senior Technical Staff Engineer – IC Analog Design

Responsibilities

• Architect and design performance-critical analog and mixed-signal blocks, including DACs and ADCs.
• Own schematic design and simulation at the IP and system level to meet performance, area, power, and reliability targets.
• Supervise circuit layout through close collaboration with layout engineers on floor planning, device matching, routing, shielding, and ESD strategies.
• Work with the system design team to translate top-level product requirements into detailed block-level budgets and circuit specifications.
• Supervise validation and debug, including lab bring-up, bench measurement, correlation to simulations, and root-cause analysis of silicon issues.
• Collaborate with the foundry technology team to ensure proper use of PDKs and models, focusing on device reliability constraints.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience designing high-speed and analog circuits, including DACs, ADCs, bandgaps, high-accuracy bias blocks, and comparators.
• Broad experience in the development of both sigma-delta and SAR-based ADC architectures.
• Proficiency with industry-standard design tools, including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and Matlab.
• Hands-on experience with lab testing and debug of analog blocks.
• Hands-on experience in scripting and automation using Skill, Python, or Tcl.
• Strong fundamentals in circuit theory, design, and layout, including noise, linearity, device non-idealities, parasitics, and on-chip matching networks.
• BSEE minimum; MSEE or higher preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (MSEE+) from an accredited engineering school.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a methodical, detail-oriented approach.
• Excellent verbal communication, documentation, and presentation skills.
