Zusammenfassung

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

Qualifikationen

• 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.

Aufgaben

• 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.

Jobbeschreibung

Senior / Lead Data Converter IC Design Engineer (FinFET)

Location: San Jose CA / San Diego CA / Remote in USA

Job Type: Full-Time & Contract Options Available

Requirements: US Citizenship / GC holder Required

Compensation: $150,000 – $180,000 / year + Comprehensive Benefits

About the Role

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

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and design multi-GS/s ADC/DAC architectures (Time-Interleaved SAR, Pipeline, Flash, or RF-DACs).
• Deliver transistor-level circuits (track-and-hold, comparators, low-jitter clock paths, bias networks) in 7nm–3nm FinFET processes.
• Implement background/foreground digital calibration for offset, gain, timing skew, and linearity.
• Supervise layout to mitigate layout-dependent effects (LDE), parasitics, electromigration, and self-heating.
• Lead post-silicon lab bring-up, bench testing, and model-to-hardware correlation.

Qualifications

• Education: M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Experience: 10+ years of hands-on high-speed data converter design and successful silicon tape-outs.
• FinFET Expertise: Proven track record in advanced nodes (3nm, 5nm, or 7nm).
• Core Knowledge: Strong command of FinFET-specific design constraints (fin quantization, degraded g m / g ds, 3D RC extraction).
• EDA Tools: Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/PrimeSim, and Calibre PEX/Quantus.

Full-Time Benefits:

• 15 days of PTO per calendar year
• 10 paid Holidays per calendar year
• Comprehensive Medical Benefits: Company covers 80% of premiums for Employee and Dependents
• Dental & Vision: Company covers 50% of premiums for Employee and Dependents
• Voluntary Benefits: Life Insurance, FSA (Health and Dependent, Limited Purpose), HAS, and Gap Insurance
• Employee Assistant Program (EAP)
• 401k - Traditional & Roth
• Life/AD&D and Long-Term Disability
• Tuition reimbursement
