Analog IC Design Engineer

DescriptionKforce's client, a growing semiconductor company in the Austin, TX area is seeking an Analog IC Design Engineer to join its engineering team. This is a hands-on individual contributor opportunity focused on the design, development, verification, and silicon validation of innovative analog and mixed-signal IC products. We are working directly with the Hiring Manager on this search. This position is Hybrid Remote.Duties:* 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, power-supply detectors, and bias/current distribution circuits* Apply low-power, low-noise, 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 reviewsRequirements* BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field preferred* 2 to 5+ 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* Knowledge of low-noise, low-power, and precision analog design techniques* Strong understanding of transistor operation, analog circuit design, and circuit analysis* Strong understanding 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* Understanding of semiconductor device physics is a plus* High-speed analog experience is a plus, but not requiredThe Opportunity:This is a strong opportunity for an Analog IC Designer who enjoys hands-on transistor-level design and wants ownership across the full IC development lifecycle, from circuit design and simulation through tape-out, post-layout verification, and silicon validation.Job TypeDirect HireCompensation120000 - $150000
