Job summary

Blue Origin in California is seeking a senior-level Mixed-Signal / Custom Digital IC Designer to develop, simulate, and deliver timing models for custom analog-digital interfaces used in complex ICs. You will define timing arcs, characterize at SPICE levels, and validate Liberty.lib against transistor-level results with analog, digital, STA, and physical design teams.

Requires strong transistor-level design, PVT corner analysis, and scripting (Python/Tcl).

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related field; 7+ years experience.
• Hands-on transistor-level SPICE simulations and timing characterization.
• Strong understanding of CMOS digital design and timing concepts (setup/hold/clock-to-Q).

Responsibilities

• Generate and maintain Liberty.lib models for custom digital/analog interfaces.
• Characterize timing across PVT corners, input slew, loads, and parasitics.
• Validate Liberty models against transistor-level simulations and STA results.
• Collaborate with analog, digital, STA, verification and physical design teams.
