Analog Design Engineer

We are seeking a highly motivated Analog/Mixed Signal Design Engineer with 2-4 years of experience in custom analog and IO circuit design. The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, simulating, and validating high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for advanced semiconductor technologies. This role offers an opportunity to work on cutting-edge process nodes and contribute to the development of next-generation products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks for semiconductor products.
• Design and optimize IO circuits while ensuring compliance with industry-standard IO architectures and interfaces.
• Perform transistor-level circuit design, simulation, and verification using Cadence design tools.
• Conduct pre-layout and post-layout analysis, including performance, reliability, and variation studies.
• Execute SPICE simulations and validate designs across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners.
• Work closely with layout engineers to achieve optimal circuit performance and silicon area utilization.
• Perform design reviews and support silicon bring-up, characterization, and debugging activities.
• Ensure designs meet ESD, reliability, and quality requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including layout, verification, product engineering, and technology groups.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field.
• 2-4 years of experience in Analog/Mixed-Signal Design or IO Circuit Design.

Technical Skills:

• Strong understanding of:
  • CMOS Device Physics

  • 7nm
  • 5nm
• Good knowledge of:
  • LVS (Layout vs. Schematic)
  • DRC (Design Rule Check)
  • EMIR (Electromigration and IR Drop Analysis)
  • Reliability Verification and Sign-off Flows

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to high-speed IO, SerDes, memory interfaces, or mixed-signal subsystem design.
• Experience with low-power circuit design techniques and advanced process technologies.
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or SKILL for design automation.
• Understanding of semiconductor product development lifecycle and silicon validation flows.

Key Competencies:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Excellent debugging and circuit optimization skills.
