Job summary

IC Enable in Richardson, TX is seeking an experienced Analog Circuit Design Engineer to lead development of ultra-low-power analog front-ends for neuromodulation medical devices, from first principles to silicon.

The role focuses on implantable applications, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and mentoring junior engineers, with hybrid work options in Richardson.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal design including low-noise/low-power amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, charge pumps, RF wireless transmission, and power management architectures.
• Experience with medical, implantable, or bioelectronics systems is strongly preferred.
• Proficient with Cadence tools such as ADE-L/ADE-XL and performing Monte Carlo, noise, aging, EM/IR drop, and stability simulations (Synopsys Custom Compiler a plus).
• Strong experience with simulation tools such as Spectre, HSPICE, and PrimeSim.
• MATLAB, SystemVerilog, and Python experience preferred.
• Capable of understanding DRC and LVS results using verification tools such as Calibre, ICV, or PVS.
• Self-starter capable of independently driving tasks to completion while collaborating effectively within cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Design analog building blocks including PLLs, low-noise amplifiers, charge pumps, bandgaps, serial interfaces, ADC/DAC converters, DC regulators, analog filters, and ultra-low-power front-ends
• Develop high-efficiency stimulator output stages and power management architectures for advanced mixed-signal ASIC applications
• Run pre-tapeout verification flows to confirm designs meet performance, power, reliability, and timing requirements
• Collaborate with layout and digital teams to deliver high-quality mixed-signal SoCs, including physical design support and post-silicon validation planning
• Create and maintain project documentation and contribute to improving design flows and methodologies
• Lead and mentor junior engineers

Job description

Now is an exciting time to join our team as we continue to change the industry through experience in technology development, full-custom ASIC and electronics development across the Semiconductor, Medical and Defense industries, including some of the most challenging fabrication processes and product applications. We are always looking for talented and dedicated IC Design Professionals to join our organization.

Location: Richardson, TX

Job Id: 319

# of Openings: 1

Own and lead the development of analog integrated circuits for neuromodulation medical devices—from first principles through silicon and into real-world use. You’ll work on ultra‑low‑power designs that interface directly with the human nervous system, contributing to technologies that have a meaningful impact on patient care. This includes restoring function, monitoring neurological conditions, and enabling new therapeutic approaches.

We are seeking an experienced Analog Circuit Design Engineer with 7+ years of experience in custom mixed‑signal circuit design, specifically focused on neural sensing and stimulation technologies for medical and implantable applications. Strong experience across the following areas is desired: design of ultra‑low‑power front‑ends for sensing neural signals (EEG, EMG), high‑efficiency stimulator output stages, power management architectures, data converters, low‑noise and low‑power amplifiers, RF wireless data transmission (FSK, ASK), and CT filters.

The ideal candidate will have experience supporting implantable hardware design and bioelectronics systems requiring high reliability, low power consumption, and compliance with medical safety standards. We value a quality‑driven mindset, strong communication skills, and a startup‑oriented approach—taking ownership, staying adaptable, and contributing wherever needed to move the work forward.
