Arago
Senior Analog IC Design Engineer
Paris Offices. Posted a month ago
The role
This person will design high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs from architecture to silicon validation. The role involves optimizing circuits for power, area, and performance across PVT variations.
What you will do
- Design and simulate analog and RF integrated circuits including amplifiers, mixers, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, and bias/reference circuits.
- Optimize circuits for power, area, and performance trade-offs.
- Collaborate with optics, simulation and PCB teams to define architecture and block-level specifications.
- Work with layout engineers to guide floor-planning and physical design.
- Support post-silicon validation and bring-up.
- Define test plans and analyze lab measurements.
Required qualifications
- English at a proficient level.
- Sound mathematical understanding and deep physical intuition of analog electronics.
- Analog voltage-to-current and current-to-voltage conversion at low and high frequencies.
- Experience in designing high-precision analog systems for signal processing or power electronics.
- Extensive experience in IC design and post-layout design methodology using standard industry tools like Cadence Virtuoso.
- Proficiency in designing and optimizing mixed-signal circuits, including DACs and ADCs at low (kHz-MHz) and high (>GHz) frequencies, and signal conditioning circuits.
- Strong understanding of signal integrity, crosstalk, and noise reduction techniques in mixed-signal environments.
- Advanced node experience required (<28nm).
Nice to have
- French is a plus
- Experience working with high-frequency analog signals is valued
