We are looking for a skilled and motivated Analog Design Engineer with 2–10 years of experience in analog and mixed-signal IC design. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on expertise in designing, simulating, and validating high-performance analog circuits, with particular emphasis on SerDes, LDOs, and Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs).

You will work closely with cross-functional teams including architecture, layout, verification, and system engineering to develop robust, high-performance semiconductor solutions. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to challenging designs across advanced process technologies and take ownership of analog blocks from specification through silicon validation.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for advanced semiconductor applications.
• Architect, implement, and optimize SerDes circuits, including high-speed transmit and receive analog front-end blocks.
• Design and analyze Low-Dropout Regulators (LDOs), focusing on stability, transient response, PSRR, power efficiency, and load regulation.
• Design and develop Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs), including key blocks such as charge pumps, loop filters, voltage-controlled oscillators, and frequency dividers.
• Perform circuit-level simulations to evaluate functionality, performance, power consumption, noise, stability, and process-voltage-temperature (PVT) variations.
• Work closely with layout engineers to ensure proper implementation of analog blocks while considering matching, parasitics, noise, and layout-dependent effects.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to circuit architecture, specifications, trade-off analysis, and technical documentation.
• Perform post-layout simulations and identify performance degradation caused by parasitic effects.
• Support silicon bring-up, characterization, debugging, and correlation between simulation and silicon measurements.
• Collaborate with digital, verification, physical design, and system teams to resolve design and integration issues.

Must-Have Skills

• 2–10 years of experience in analog or mixed-signal IC design.
• Strong hands-on experience with SerDes design and high-speed analog circuits.
• Solid understanding and practical experience designing LDOs and power-management circuits.
• Strong knowledge of Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) and their fundamental building blocks.
• Strong understanding of analog circuit fundamentals, including amplifiers, feedback systems, biasing, current mirrors, oscillators, noise, stability, and frequency response.
• Experience with circuit simulation, PVT analysis, corner analysis, and Monte Carlo simulations.
• Ability to troubleshoot circuit-level performance issues and optimize designs for power, area, speed, noise, and reliability.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Experience working with FinFET or other advanced semiconductor process technologies.
• Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools for schematic capture, simulation, layout, and verification.
• Hands-on experience with HSPICE or equivalent circuit simulation environments.
• Exposure to post-layout extraction, parasitic analysis, and silicon characterization.
• Understanding of semiconductor fabrication processes and device-level behavior in advanced nodes.
• Experience working on high-speed interfaces, clocking circuits, data converters, or power-management ICs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field.
• Strong foundation in analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Candidates who demonstrate strong practical design expertise and silicon experience will be preferred.
