You will work on innovative projects, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and play a key role in advancing the company's analog design capabilities.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design of complex analog circuits including amplifiers, voltage references, and other mixed-signal blocks.
  • Conduct simulations and validation of circuit designs to ensure high-performance metrics are met.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (layout, testing, process, and systems) to ensure the successful integration and delivery of analog circuit designs.
  • Lead or participate in the development of cutting-edge analog design methodologies, tools, and best practices.
  • Conduct performance trade-off analysis and optimize designs for low power, low noise, and high-speed applications.
  • Work with the test and validation teams to develop test plans and perform post-silicon validation.
  • Support the transition of designs to production and work closely with manufacturing teams to resolve any issues that arise during tape-out and fabrication.

Qualifications :

  • Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3 years of experience in analog circuit design, with a proven track record of leading complex analog and mixed-signal designs.
  • Expertise in designing and optimizing analog building blocks
  • Strong experience with circuit simulation tools
  • Deep understanding of analog circuit performance characteristics, noise analysis, and layout considerations.
  • Proficiency in hands-on prototyping, debugging, and validation of designs, both in simulation and in hardware.
  • Strong knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes (e.g., CMOS, BiCMOS, SOI) and process variations.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to design innovative solutions to complex technical challenges.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working in multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Preferred Skills :

  • Expertise in ultra-high-speed serial communications from 100 Gbps PAM4, to 200 Gbps PAM4 and beyond
  • Experience with data center communications protocols : PCI-Express, Ethernet, UALink, CXL, etc.
  • We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities.
