Principal Analog Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

The role

You will design high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits used in multi-gigabit transceivers. You will work on next-generation transceiver IPs targeting the FinFET technology node.

What you will do

• Design critical AMS blocks such as PLLs, CDRs, TX drivers, RX front-ends, CTLEs, DFE, LDOs, bias generators, and ADC/DAC components
• Perform transistor-level design, simulation, and optimization for performance, power, and area across PVT corners
• Work closely with layout engineers to guide floorplanning, matching-sensitive layout, and parasitic-aware design
• Perform design verification using pre- and post-layout simulations
• Ensure robust operation under variation, jitter, power supply noise, and crosstalk conditions
• Create and maintain design documentation, design reviews, and specifications
• Collaborate with system architects, digital design, and firmware teams
• Support silicon bring-up, lab measurement correlation, and debug of design issues
• Use industry-standard tools for design and analysis

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related field
• 8+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design in deep-submicron or FinFET technologies
• Transistor-level design and simulation in advanced nodes (≤ 5nm)
• Designing analog blocks for high-speed transceivers (e.g., clocking, bias, analog front ends)
• SPICE simulation tools and AMS verification environments
• Deep understanding of noise, jitter, linearity, bandwidth, gain, impedance matching, and power trade-offs
• Familiarity with layout interaction and parasitic-aware circuit optimization
• Solid debugging, problem-solving, and documentation skills

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Performance bonus each year
• Long-term Incentive (refreshed each year)
• Flexible working time
• Health check each year
• Insurance for engineer and family
• Lunch Allowance
• Company trips
