Job description

The Richmond Group USA is partnering with an established semiconductor company to identify a Senior Analog Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer for its San Jose R&D team.

This is a hands-on design role supporting advanced video-related IC products from circuit development and layout through tape-out and production. You will join a stable, long-tenured engineering team where designers have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of their work across the full product lifecycle and build lasting careers. That level of stability is especially valuable in today’s Bay Area semiconductor market.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits using advanced CMOS technologies
• Develop circuitry involving ADCs, DACs, PLLs, DLLs, SerDes, high-speed I/O, filters, line drivers, equalizers, or clock and data recovery
• Support circuit simulation, layout, verification, tape-out, and silicon bring-up
• Optimize designs for speed, power, performance, and manufacturability
• Collaborate with digital, applications, validation, and other engineering teams
• Help move complex IC products into commercial production

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, EECS, or a related discipline; master’s degree preferred
• At least five years of relevant analog or mixed-signal IC design experience
• Strong circuit theory, design, simulation, and layout fundamentals
• Experience with high-speed analog circuitry and several of the technologies listed above
• Experience with Cadence design tools and CMOS development
• Prior tape-out or high-volume commercial product experience strongly preferred
• Ability to work independently within a collaborative, fast-paced R&D environment

What’s in It for You

• Base salary up to $190,000
• Annual salary increases historically averaging 4% to 6%
• Eligible for an annual performance bonuses
• Stable, collaborative environment with strong work-life balance
• Broad ownership across multiple stages of IC development
• High-visibility role within an R&D team
• Opportunity to collaborate with international engineering teams
