What you will do

• Define analog and mixed-signal architectures for next-generation microcontroller and wireless SoCs, balancing performance, power, area, robustness, and reliability.
• Translate product and system requirements into block-level specifications, budgets, and verified architectures, and evaluate technology options through feasibility studies and prototyping.
• Guide design teams through schematics, simulation, design reviews, layout, post-layout checks, and transistor-level work when needed.
• Define simulation and verification strategies, including top-level analog and mixed-signal verification across the design cycle.
• Own chip-level analog IP integration and collaborate with digital, power management, RF, layout, test, and product engineering teams on floorplanning, silicon bring-up, and characterization.
• Mentor engineers, improve design methodologies and reuse strategies, and document architectural decisions, results, assumptions, and risks.

Requirements

• Master’s degree or PhD in electrical engineering, microelectronics, physics, or a related field.
• Extensive hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal ICs, including several complete SoC or IP projects taken to production.
• Proven experience defining architectures and specifications for complex analog systems such as data converters, PLLs and clocking, power management, or RF and analog front-ends.
• Strong understanding of CMOS devices and analog fundamentals, including feedback, noise, mismatch, stability, and process-voltage-temperature effects.
• Extensive pre-layout and post-layout simulation and verification experience, including system-level verification.
• Experience with silicon bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis.
• Ability to influence technical decisions across teams and mentor senior engineers.
• Strong communication skills and fluent English.
