THE ROLE
We are looking for an accomplished Analog and Mixed-Signal Design Engineer with relevant years of semiconductor design experience to develop high-performance, power-efficient analog, mixed-signal, and I/O circuits for advanced SoCs. This is a highly technical role for an engineer who thrives on solving challenging circuit-design problems across advanced process nodes, high-speed interfaces, GPIO/I/O subsystems, power management, sensing, and mixed-signal integration . You will take designs from architecture and transistor-level implementation through verification, physical design, sign-off, and silicon bring-up, working closely with architecture, SoC, package, SI/PI, reliability, verification, and product engineering teams. THE PERSON: You are a strong circuit designer with deep understanding of CMOS Analog and Mixed-signal design , complemented by the ability to see the larger SoC and system context. You are comfortable making design trade-offs across performance, power, area, reliability, signal integrity, process variation, and time-to-market . You combine hands-on transistor-level expertise with technical leadership and can independently drive complex designs, resolve ambiguous technical problems, and collaborate effectively across geographically distributed engineering teams.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Architect, design, and deliver advanced analog, mixed-signal, and I/O circuits for high-performance SoCs. Develop and optimize circuits such as GPIO/I/O interfaces, transmitters and receivers, level shifters, voltage detectors, clocking/support circuits, sensors, bias circuits, analog control circuits, and power-management interfaces . Perform detailed PVT, Monte Carlo, mismatch, noise, jitter, timing, power, and reliability analyses to ensure robust operation across manufacturing and operating conditions. Analyze I/O interfaces for signal integrity, power integrity, supply droop, ground bounce, termination, loading, and package/board interactions . Ensure designs meet appropriate ESD, EOS, electromigration, aging, TDDB, voltage-stress, and device-reliability requirements. Partner closely with layout engineers to drive matching, shielding, parasitic management, floorplanning, power routing, and analog layout quality. Collaborate with SoC architecture, RTL/DV, DFT, physical design, package, board, SI/PI, firmware, reliability, and product engineering teams to enable successful IP integration. Develop behavioral models and specifications that enable efficient mixed-signal and SoC-level verification . Support post-layout verification, design reviews, tape-out, silicon bring-up, characterization, debug, and production qualification . Identify design risks early and drive technically sound solutions through data-driven analysis. Contribute to circuit and design-methodology innovation and help drive next-generation IP architecture and reuse . Own circuit design from specification and architecture through schematic design, simulation, layout supervision, extraction, sign-off, and silicon characterization . Provide technical guidance and mentoring to engineers while raising the overall engineering quality of the team.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
Industry experience in analog, mixed-signal, I/O, or custom IC design. Strong transistor-level design fundamentals and extensive experience with CMOS circuit design and
