Mixed Signal IC Design Engineer (32627)

Our client is seeking a Lead Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer- High-Speed Circuits to join a cutting-edge team building advanced analog and mixed-signal IP for next-generation communications and data center systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and simulate high-speed analog blocks such as ADCs, DACs, and PLLs.
• Optimize floorplans, supervise layout teams, and provide layout guidance (including hands-on layout work when needed).
• Evaluate and select circuit topologies to meet stringent performance goals in terms of power, area, linearity, and bandwidth.
• Develop test plans and collaborate with product and test engineering teams for validation and characterization.
• Follow established design flows and contribute to process improvements.
• Model analog circuits using Verilog-A/AMS for system-level simulations.

Key Qualifications:

• Strong experience with CAD tools: Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Incisive, Calibre, EMX, Totem EM/IR.
• Proven track record designing and bringing to production high-speed analog/mixed-signal IPs in deep submicron CMOS (e.g., high-speed ADCs, DACs, low-jitter PLLs).
• In-depth understanding of analog circuit methodologies, layout effects, and device physics.
• Experience with behavioral modeling (Verilog-A/AMS).
• Ability to work collaboratively with distributed design teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication.
• Experience with Matlab and/or optical communication theory is a plus.

Education & Experience:

• M.S. in Electrical Engineering with 12+ years of experience, or
• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of experience.
