Job description

Principal Analog Design Engineer, HBM

We are seeking a Principal Analog Design Engineer to lead the design, integration, and delivery of advanced analog and mixed‑signal IPs for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. This role is critical in developing and integrating high‑performance analog subsystems within the HBM logic die, enabling industry‑leading bandwidth, power efficiency, and reliability.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and own critical HBM analog circuits, including:
• High‑speed transmitters and receivers
• Clock generation and distribution (PLLs, DLLs, CDRs)
• SerDes‑related analog blocks
• Biasing, reference, and calibration circuits
• Power delivery and regulation circuits (LDOs, regulators)
• Define and lead IP interfaces, power domains, clocking schemes, and reset strategies across subsystems
• Perform detailed pre‑layout and post‑layout simulations
• Conduct PVT, Monte Carlo, mismatch, and aging analyses
• Work closely with layout engineers to define floorplanning and symmetry requirements, ensure matching, shielding, and EM/IR compliance
• Review and sign off on analog layouts
• Drive layout‑aware build optimizations for advanced nodes
• Define guidelines for analog build, documentation, and reuse
• Collaborate across analog, digital, system, packaging, and test teams

Minimum Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
• ~10–15+ years of experience in analog/mixed‑signal IC build
• Proven expertise in high‑speed interface design, clocking circuits (PLL/DLL/CDR), power management circuits
• Strong experience in analog IP integration at subsystem or SoC level, SPICE simulation, extraction, and modeling, silicon bring‑up and lab validation
• Deep understanding of advanced CMOS processes, noise, jitter, SI/PI, and cross‑domain coupling effects

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of DRAM sub‑system architecture, specification, operation, or build
• Understanding of physical layout & circuit floor planning
• Excellent problem‑solving & analytical skills
