Job description

Senior ASIC Design Engineer, Analog and Power

Very Stable, U.S. based manufacturing company with customers in various industries.

• $125K – $165K/yr
• Full-time
• Medical, Dental, Retirement, PTO

Job Description

Bleeding Edge Ohio Based Technology Firm, Newly Created Role, Tremendous Growth Opportunity: You will serve as the solo ASIC Design Engineer owning architecture, transistor-level design, simulation, verification, and delivery of custom ASICs focused on power/voltage conversion, battery-powered systems, and power analog circuitry. This role also requires meaningful experience with solid-state fabrication, semiconductor process flows, and device-level considerations that directly influence analog/power IC performance.

Core Responsibilities

• Analog & Power ASIC Design: Own full transistor-level lifecycle (architecture to tape‑out) with required expertise in pure analog design. Design power conversion circuits—including buck/boost converters, charge pumps, battery management ICs, low/high-voltage stages, and switching/linear regulators.
• IP Development: Develop analog/power IP blocks (biasing networks, references, amplifiers, drivers, protection circuits). Run SPICE, Corner, Monte Carlo, and reliability simulations.
• Layout & Fab Interaction: Drive floorplanning, parasitic extraction, matching, and PDK usage. Integrate device physics, doping profiles, oxide variations, high‑voltage structures, thermal behavior, and isolation (trench, SOI, guard rings). Evaluate process variation impacts on analog stability and noise.
• Project Ownership: Act as the sole ASIC engineer leading technical strategy, cross‑functional integration (PCB, packaging, test), and documentation.

Required Experience & Skills

• Education & Experience: BS/MS in EE, CE, or Physics; 8+ years in transistor-level ASIC/Analog IC design as a sole project lead.
• Pure Analog Expertise: deep experience in pure analog design—transistor‑level design, compensation, stability, noise, and biasing—alongside power‑conversion and battery‑powered architectures.
• Tools: Hands‑on proficiency with Cadence (Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE).
• Semiconductor Physics & Fab: Deep understanding of CMOS/BiCMOS flows, device physics, high‑voltage structures, fabrication constraints (implantation, oxidation, lithography), and reliability (BTI, HCI, TDDB).

Preferred Qualifications

• Silicon debug, bench validation, and lab bring‑up experience.
• Background in wearables, IoT, battery‑powered embedded systems, or wide‑bandgap devices (GaN, SiC).
• Familiarity with mixed‑signal verification methodologies.
• BS or MS Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics or a related area.

Note: we can consider on-site (relocation assistance is offered), hybrid or remote employees who can travel to HQ as needed.
