High-Speed Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Astera Labs; Singapore; On-site; SGD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Astera Labs is seeking an Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer to join a key team that designs advanced CMOS products for AI connectivity. You will design and verify PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, regulators, amplifiers, TX/RX, and CDRs to meet stringent performance targets while shaping analog and clocking blocks for high-speed connectivity applications.

Proficiency with industry tools such as Spectre and MATLAB is required, and experience with 20nm node or newer tapeouts is highly valued.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a Master’s or PhD in EE is preferred.
• Hands-on experience in designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits including ADC/DAC data converters, RX front-end, TX driver/serializer, low-jitter PLLs.
• Solid biasing, band-gaps, reference circuits, opamps and comparators understanding.
• Proven track-record for analog circuit implementation and high-speed data transmission.
• Design and tapeout experience in advanced CMOS nodes (e.g. 20nm+).
• Strong transistor-level design, stability analysis and noise/jitter understanding.
• Knowledge of TIA design and optical transceivers is a plus.
• Familiarity with Python/Matlab/C for scripting and lab debugging.

Responsibilities

• Design and verify PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX/RX and CDRs to meet targets.
• Develop analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications.
• Use Spectre and MATLAB for simulation and verification.
• Collaborate with global teams across time zones; deliver under deadlines.
• Lab bring-up and debugging of chips; contribute to documentation and patents.
