Description About the Role We are seeking a Principal Analog Design Engineer to design, integrate, and characterize high‑performance, high speed analog circuits for next‑generation products. This role requires deep hands‑on expertise, strong system‑level understanding, and the ability to technically lead complex mixed‑signal designs from concept through silicon qualification and production. You will work closely with digital, layout, validation, firmware, and product teams to deliver robust, manufacturable solutions for demanding high speed analog applications Responsibilities Analog Design Architect, design, and simulate Analog circuit blocks , including: VCOs/PLLs, XOSC High Speed Data converters (ADCs/DACs) Bias generation, bandgap references, LDOs Amplifiers and filters LNAs, mixers Translate system‑level requirements  (noise, gain, linearity, power, phase noise) into robust circuit implementations Perform detailed schematic design, simulation, and optimization  across PVT corners System & Architecture Contribution Collaborate with system architects to define RF signal chains and analog subsystems Drive tradeoff analysis between performance, power, area, and cost Support RF budgeting  (NF, IP3, phase noise, jitter, spur analysis) Silicon Implementation & Signoff Work closely with layout engineers on: Floor planning Sensitive routing and matching EM, IR, and substrate coupling considerations Own or support block‑level and top‑level signoff : AC/DC performance Noise and linearity Stability and yield margin Validation & Debug Lead silicon bring‑up, lab characterization, and debug Correlate measurement results with simulation Identify root causes and drive fixes for silicon issues Support yield improvement and production ramp Technical Leadership Define best practices for RF/analog design and verification Mentor Junior engineers and help refine circuits and architectures Influence roadmap and architectural decisions Serve as a technical point of contact across cross‑functional teams Required Experience and Skills Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering  or related field Typically 10+ years of hands‑on Analog IC design experience Proven track record of tape‑out ownership  and silicon success Strong understanding of: Analog circuit design techniques with CMOS RF fundamentals (noise, linearity, matching, phase noise) Experience with industry tools: Cadence Virtuoso, SpectreRF, EMX or equivalent Comfortable working across process nodes  and foundries Desired Experience and Skills Mixed‑signal…
