Technical Staff Engineer - Analog Design (Networking)

Staff Analog IC Design Engineer Seeking a highly skilled Engineer to contribute to the specification, architecture, design, and development of integrated circuits – from initial concept through production quality – for next‑generation Ethernet and USB products. Responsibilities Define and drive architecture definition for High‑Speed Datacom Ethernet and USB SERDES. Translate system requirements into block‑level specification and microarchitectures, enabling efficient partitioning and design ownership. Design and verify Analog/Mixed‑Signal macros for High‑Speed Datacom Ethernet and USB SERDES, including ADCs, DACs, PLLs, Transmitters/TX, Receivers/RX, LDOs, Regulators, High Speed I/Os, Bandgap, POR, Oscillator, Charge Pump, Under/Over Voltage Protection, DC‑DC Switching Converters, Analog Switches, etc. Perform system and transistor‑level design and verification using mixed‑mode simulation across multiple scenarios, process corners, and mismatch conditions. Develop schematics and run simulations using modern CAD tools (Cadence‑Virtuoso). Collaborate closely with layout engineers to review, mitigate, and optimize parasitic and proximity effects. Generate block‑level and top‑level analog/mixed‑signal design specifications. Develop behavioral models for analog and mixed‑signal blocks. Document designs and lead formal design reviews. Collaborate with cross‑functional designers on interface specifications and implementation details. Define validation plans for post‑silicon product‑level ATE and lab validation. Interface with and support applications, product and test engineering, marketing, systems development, technology development, CAD, layout, and other design organizations. Qualifications BSEE and minimum of 15 years of industry experience in Electronics/Electrical Engineering. Strong verbal and written communication skills; active participation in group discussions; ability to provide project updates and generate functional and technical documentation. Proactive mindset and ability to learn and adapt quickly in a dynamic, cross‑functional environment. Strong analytical skills for complex system evaluation using hand analysis and simulation tools. Ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams. Capability to manage multiple complex IC design tasks in a dynamic environment; meet aggressive timelines with minimal supervision. Excellent technical, communication, and interpersonal skills. Knowledge of Verilog, Liberty timing models, IBIS‑AMI models is a plus. Strong understanding of device physics and operation; expertise in low power and high‑speed design techniques. Experience architecting high‑speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and USB. Demonstrated design experience in multiple Analog SERDES sub‑blocks (ADCs, DACs, PLLs, Transmitters/TX, Receivers/RX, LDOs, Regulators, High Speed I/Os, Bandgap, POR, Oscillator, Charge Pump, Under/Over Voltage Protection, DC‑DC Switching Converters, Analog Switches). Extensive experience with Cadence and other Analog/Mixed‑Signal IC design tools. Hands‑on lab validation experience using power supplies, source meters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and related equipment. Experience working in globally distributed design teams. Familiarity with DRC/LVS/ERC/PEX/EM analysis tools. Experience verifying designs for SOA as well as aging and SHE effects. Proficiency in the Cadence Virtuoso IC design environment. Experience in Unix/Linux operating systems. Experience developing and executing scripts (Scheme, SKILL, Perl/Tcl, etc.). Strong team player with a positive attitude and a commitment to continuous learning. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
