High Speed Analog Design Engineer

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

• Strong expertise in high-speed analog circuit design fundamentals including Signal integrity, jitter analysis, noise, bandwidth optimization, Stability and frequency compensation techniques

• Proven experience in one or more of the following: High-speed interfaces (e.g., SerDes, USB, Ethernet, or similar), Clocking systems (PLL, CDR, frequency synthesis)

• Hands-on experience with Cadence IC design tools (Virtuoso, Spectre, etc.) and modeling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink

• Solid understanding of device physics and parasitic effects impacting high-speed performance

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to operate effectively in a global environment

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Fluency in English (spoken and written)
