Principal Analog Design Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Analog Design Engineer with 12-18 years of expertise in high-performance PLL and clocking solutions to join our product development team. The candidate will lead the design and development of advanced clock generation, distribution, synchronization, and timing circuits for next-generation SoCs and mixed-signal products, driving innovations from architecture definition through silicon validation and production.

• 12+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design with strong expertise in PLL and clocking architectures.
• Deep transistor-level design experience of PLL building blocks including VCOs, charge pumps, phase/frequency detectors (PFDs), loop filters, clock buffers, bandgap references, current references, OPAMPs, and LDOs.
• Strong understanding of jitter, phase noise, clock synchronization, timing recovery, EMC/ESD, reliability, and silicon robustness.
• Hands-on experience with analog design and verification tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, ADE, Spectre/SPICE, and related EDA environments.
• Experience with silicon characterization, validation, yield improvement, and ATE characterization.
• Strong knowledge of advanced CMOS/FinFET technologies and analog layout considerations.
• Proven ability to lead technical reviews, debug silicon issues, and mentor junior engineers.
• Experience with high-speed SerDes, Ethernet PHYs, or timing-intensive mixed-signal systems is an added advantage.

• →Architect, design, and verify high-performance PLL, clock generation, clock distribution, and synchronization circuits for advanced semiconductor products.
• →Own end-to-end analog design execution including specification definition, transistor-level implementation, performance verification, and silicon bring-up.
• →Develop innovative analog circuit solutions to optimize jitter, phase noise, power consumption, and overall system performance.
• →Work closely with system, digital, layout, validation, and product engineering teams to define interfaces, calibration methodologies, and verification strategies.
• →Drive reliability, EMC/ESD compliance, silicon characterization, and yield improvement activities.
• →Lead technical decision-making, conduct design reviews, and provide mentorship to junior engineers while contributing to the overall analog design methodology and roadmap.
