About this role
Job Title: Analog Design Engineer
Job Responsibility:
Design high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits, including: High-speed re-drivers(AFE RX Equalization and Tx output line drivers) and High-speed switches for USB applications, Clocking circuits (PLL, frequency multipliers, Jitter conditioning), High Speed IO designs, Precision analog circuits, cap-less LDOs, and low-voltage bandgaps and charge pumps
Hands on circuit design, simulations and documentation from concept to silicon validation
Translate chip-level requirements(data rate, BER, Jitter budget) into detailed block level architectures and detailed sub-block specifications
Develop behavioral models (Verilog-A/AMS) for analog blocks to validate architecture performance
Perform system-level modeling (MATLAB/Simulink) for noise and transfer functions
Conduct design analysis and hand calculations to predict and validate simulation results
Lead and participate in design reviews
Present technical solutions to internal teams and external customers
Collaborate with layout engineers to ensure optimal device placement, matching, EM/IR compliance, shielding, and guard ring implementation
Drive innovation and propose differentiated technical solutions to meet customer and product requirements
Job Qualification:
MS in Electrical Engineering with 3–5 years of IC development experience, or PhD with 1-2 years of experience
