Job summary

Kforce's client, a growing semiconductor company in the Austin, TX area, seeks a Senior or Principal Analog IC Design Engineer to join its engineering team. This hands-on role covers the full IC lifecycle from circuit design and verification to tape-out and silicon validation in a hybrid remote setting.

You will design analog/mixed-signal blocks, from op-amps and bandgaps to ADC/DACs and power-management circuits, perform extensive simulations, and collaborate with layout and product teams to

Qualifications

• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field preferred.
• 7–12+ years of transistor-level analog IC design experience.
• Experience designing analog or mixed-signal circuits for power management, SoCs, SerDes, ADC/DAC, PLL, or related IC products.
• Experience with analog building blocks such as op-amps, bandgaps, regulators, charge pumps, ADC/DACs, sense amplifiers, oscillators, I/O, or bias circuits.
• Strong understanding of transistor operation, analog circuit design, and circuit analysis.
• Knowledge of AC/DC/transient analysis, feedback, compensation, small-signal analysis, and statistical variation.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and design ownership skills.
• Silicon experience with bias circuit design is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Own analog and mixed-signal circuit designs from initial concept through tape-out and silicon validation.
• Design transistor-level analog building blocks, including ADCs/DACs, op-amps, bandgaps, voltage regulators, charge pumps, sense amplifiers, oscillators, I/O circuits, and bias/current distribution circuits.
• Apply low-noise, low-power, and high-precision analog design techniques, accounting for device mismatch and process variation.
• Perform AC, DC, transient, Monte Carlo/statistical, and post-layout simulations.
• Support analog verification using SPICE/fast-SPICE, electromigration, IR drop, aging, and related tape-out checks.
• Partner with layout engineers through final layout, post-layout verification, and top-level integration.
• Collaborate with product and test engineering on test plans, lab results, troubleshooting, silicon characterization, and yield improvement.
• Document design, simulation, and verification results for formal design reviews.
