About the Opportunity

Are you looking to begin your career in analog and mixed-signal IC design while working on innovative semiconductor solutions? As an Engineer I in the Analog / Mixed-Signal Design team, you will contribute to the development of next-generation integrated circuits used across industrial, automotive, communications, data center, and consumer applications. This role provides the opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers on high-performance analog and mixed-signal designs from concept through silicon validation.

Job Description

In this role, you will:

• Design and simulate analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks including ADCs, DACs, PLLs, voltage regulators, power management circuits, precision analog, and low-power I/O circuits.

• Develop testbenchs and test cases for analog and mixed-signal circuits.

• Perform transistor-level circuit simulations for functionality, noise, timing, power, and performance optimization.

• Conduct post-layout verification including parasitic extraction and corner analysis.

• Develop behavioral models of analog circuits

• Prepare technical documentation including design specifications, simulation reports, test plans, and characterization results.

• Support bench characterization and silicon validation using laboratory measurement equipment.

Requirements/Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.

• Understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit fundamentals.

• Knowledge of CMOS device physics and semiconductor technologies.

• Familiarity with analog building blocks such as amplifiers, regulators, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, or power management circuits.

• Experience with circuit simulation tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, SPICE, or equivalent EDA platforms.

• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.

• Effective written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to work in a collaborative team environment.

Preferred:

• Internship or academic project experience related to analog or mixed-signal IC design.

• Exposure to post-layout simulations, parasitic extraction, and silicon characterization.

• Familiarity with scripting or automation tools such as Python or MATLAB.

• Understanding of lab equipment and semiconductor measurement techniques.

• Experience with data converter or clock-generation circuit design is a plus.

What You Can Expect

• Hands-on experience with industry-standard semiconductor design tools and methodologies.

• Mentorship from experienced analog and mixed-signal engineers.

• Exposure to the complete IC development cycle from architecture through production.

• A collaborative environment focused on innovation, learning, and technical growth.

• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
