Analog Design Engineer - I/O

TL;DR

Analog Design Engineer (I/O): Designing and validating analog IP, including band-gap based power on reset circuits and I/O libraries, for mixed-signal circuitry. Focus on transistor-level circuit simulation, chip-level verification using analog-on-top and digital-on-top methodologies, and guiding layout teams for silicon integration.

Location: Hybrid in Austin, Texas. Due to export control restrictions, candidates must be able to access technical data without requiring an export license, and hirify.global is unable to sponsor or obtain export licenses for this role.
