Principal Analog Design Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take charge of the complete analog block development process, which includes defining requirements, creating architecture, designing at the transistor level, simulating, and obtaining signoff.

• Design and enhance analog/mixed-signal circuits, such as amplifiers, references, biasing circuits, regulators, comparators, oscillators/clocking, data converters, and sensor/AFE front ends.

• Drive performance across PVT corners, handle mismatch/Monte Carlo analysis, consider aging/reliability factors, and account for realistic loading or interactions with adjacent blocks.

• Collaborate with layout teams on floorplanning, matching and guarding strategies, design that is aware of parasitics, and ensure post-layout closure using PEX.

• Create and maintain test benches, modeling collateral, and documentation for verification and integration purposes.

• Assist with silicon bring-up and debugging by correlating lab data with simulations, identifying root causes of issues, and implementing design fixes or Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).

• Work alongside digital, firmware, DFT, validation, and product engineering teams to guarantee system-level success.

• Enhance design methodologies through reusable circuits, checklists, signoff processes, and scalable best practices.

• Deliver analog blocks that meet specifications with margins across PVT, mismatch, and post-layout effects.

• Facilitate effective design reviews, expedite silicon bring-up, ensure efficient cross-functional execution, and reduce cycle times.

⛳️ Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in analog or mixed-signal IC design.

• Strong foundation in analog circuit design, device physics, noise management, stability/compensation, and feedback systems.

• Competence with industry-standard EDA tools and simulation workflows, including Spectre/HSPICE, ADE, and waveform/debugging tools.

• Experience in closing designs that account for post-layout parasitics and across various process/voltage/temperature corners.

• Ability to convert ambiguous system requirements into clear block specifications and actionable design plans.

• Strong debugging capabilities and comfort working with lab/validation teams to correlate silicon data with simulations.

• Excellent communication skills and a strong sense of ownership in cross-site, cross-functional settings.

• Experience in high-speed or precision analog, based on product requirements.

• Background in power management, encompassing LDOs, bandgaps, references, protection mechanisms, start-up sequences, and transient responses.

• Experience with ADC/DAC and power-related analog applications.

• Familiarity with reliability/ESD considerations and design-for-manufacturability practices.

• Experience in supporting production ramping, including yield learning, characterization, and test correlation.

🏝️ Benefits

• Flexible remote work arrangement.

• Opportunity to collaborate with a global team.

• Chance to work on significant AI/HPC semiconductor infrastructure.

• Autonomy and ownership in shaping the roadmap.

• Work with paying customers, committed capital, and strategic investors.

• Opportunity to design and deliver real silicon products.

• Collaborative work environment with minimal bureaucracy.
