Job summary

Encore Semi is seeking an experienced Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer to architect and tape out high-speed data converters (ADCs/DACs) in FinFET nodes from 7nm down to 3nm. You will own the full design life cycle—from system architecture to post-silicon validation—for HPC, AI, and communications hardware.

You will work on multi-GS/s ADC/DAC architectures, deliver transistor-level circuits (track-and-hold, comparators, bias networks), and lead layout with attention to LDE, parasitics, and

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of hands-on high-speed data converter design and silicon tape-outs.
• FinFET expertise in 3nm/5nm/7nm nodes.
• Strong FinFET design constraints knowledge.
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/PrimeSim, and Calibre PEX/Quantus.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design multi-GS/s ADC/DAC architectures.
• Deliver transistor-level circuits in 7nm–3nm FinFET processes.
• Implement calibration for offset, gain, timing skew, and linearity.
• Supervise layout to mitigate LDE, parasitics, electromigration, self-heating.
• Lead post-silicon lab bring-up and model-to-hardware correlation.
