- Develop and optimize analog blocks such as:
- Operational Amplifiers
- Comparators
- Current Mirrors
- Bandgap References (BGR)
- LDOs
- Voltage References
- PLL/Clock-related blocks
- Perform schematic design, circuit simulation, corner analysis and Monte Carlo analysis.
- Analyze and optimize designs for PVT, power, performance, area, noise and reliability.
- Perform pre-layout and post-layout simulations, including parasitic-aware verification.
- Work on EMIR, reliability and electrical rule checks.
- Collaborate closely with Analog Layout, Digital Design, Verification and System teams.
- Debug circuit-level issues and provide solutions for performance and functionality challenges.
- Support design reviews, documentation and tape-out activities.
- Contribute to silicon validation and post-silicon debugging, where applicable.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to improving design methodologies.
Required Skills
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in Analog Circuit Design / Analog IC Design.
- Strong fundamentals in CMOS transistor-level circuit design.
- Strong understanding of:
- Analog circuit analysis
- MOSFET fundamentals
- Feedback and stability
- Noise and mismatch
- PVT/corner analysis
- Hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso.
- Strong experience with SPICE-based simulation tools such as Spectre/PrimeSim.
- Experience in pre-layout and post-layout verification.
- Knowledge of analog layout concepts such as matching, shielding, common-centroid techniques and parasitic effects.
- Good understanding of EMIR and reliability analysis.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills.
Good to Have
- Experience with LDO, BGR, PLL, ADC/DAC, Oscillator or PMIC blocks.
- Experience with advanced CMOS technology nodes.
- Exposure to silicon bring-up, characterization and debugging.
- Scripting knowledge in Python / Perl / TCL / SKILL.
- Experience working with cross-functional Analog, Layout and Digital teams.
- Tape-out experience.
