Senior Analog Mixed-Signal IC Architect Onsite Santa Clara

Niuro; Santa Clara (CA); Hybrid; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Niuro in Santa Clara, CA, seeks a Principal Analog Mixed-Signal Design Engineer to own top-level AMS IC development onsite. You will lead from architecture to high-volume production and drive DFT/DFM readiness.

You will collaborate with digital, CAD, and test teams, supervise layout, and guide verification and bench validation for rapid silicon bring-up. Strong track record is required.

Qualifications

• M.Sc. with a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience, or a Ph.D. with a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering.
• C2 English level or higher.
• Ability to work onsite 5 days a week in Santa Clara, CA (non-negotiable).
• Proven track record of taking at least one analog-mixed signal part to high-volume production.
• Proven experience in circuit architecture development, detailed design, and simulation of blocks such as Oscillators, ADCs, DACs, temperature sensors, PLLs, low-noise op-amps, regulators, bandgap circuits, or subthreshold circuits.
• Proficiency with EDA tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE, Mixed-mode AMS tools, and Layout XL.
• Extensive knowledge of layout effects, post-layout extraction, and verification.
• Hands-on experience with Analog Mixed-Signal Design, CMOS, BiCMOS, PLL, ADC, DAC, DFT, DFM, IC Design.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development of analog mixed-signal ICs and own top-level schematic and simulation.
• Supervise and review the work of block designers, holding comprehensive design reviews.
• Develop analog and mixed-signal architectures and circuits in CMOS or BiCMOS processes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to architect the chip for DFT and DFM, ensuring rapid silicon bring-up.
• Define the verification matrix in collaboration with the verification team and participate in top-level AMS verification.
• Support cross-functional teams during bench validation, qualification, and final test development.
• Supervise analog circuit physical design layout and edit layouts as needed.
