Job description

Role Overview We are seeking an experienced Analog Design Engineer with 12-18 years of expertise in high-performance PLL and clocking solutions to join our product development team. The candidate will lead the design and development of advanced clock generation, distribution, synchronization, and timing circuits for next-generation SoCs and mixed-signal products, driving innovations from architecture definition through silicon validation and production. Key Qualifications 12+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design with strong expertise in PLL and clocking architectures. Deep transistor-level design experience of PLL building blocks including VCOs, charge pumps, phase/frequency detectors (PFDs), loop filters, clock buffers, bandgap references, current references, OPAMPs, and LDOs. Strong understanding of jitter, phase noise, clock synchronization, timing recovery, EMC/ESD, reliability, and silicon robustness. Hands‑on experience with analog design and verification tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, ADE, Spectre/SPICE, and related EDA environments. Experience with silicon characterization, validation, yield improvement, and ATE characterization. Strong knowledge of advanced CMOS/FinFET technologies and analog layout considerations. Proven ability to lead technical reviews, debug silicon issues, and mentor junior engineers. Experience with high-speed SerDes, Ethernet PHYs, or timing‑intensive mixed‑signal systems is an added advantage.

Key Responsibilities Architect, design, and verify high-performance PLL, clock generation, clock distribution, and synchronization circuits for advanced semiconductor products. Own end‑to‑end analog design execution including specification definition, transistor‑level implementation, performance verification, and silicon bring‑up. Develop innovative analog circuit solutions to optimize jitter, phase noise, power consumption, and overall system performance. Work closely with system, digital, layout, validation, and product engineering teams to define interfaces, calibration methodologies, and verification strategies. Drive reliability, EMC/ESD compliance, silicon characterization, and yield improvement activities. Lead technical decision‑making, conduct design reviews, and provide mentorship to junior engineers while contributing to the overall analog design methodology and roadmap.
