Precision Senior Analog IC Design Engineer

My client is a leading technology company specialising in silicon photonics-based interconnect solutions. Their innovative semiconductor chips are designed for next-generation data centers, utilising in-house Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) and Electronic Integrated Circuit (EIC) design capabilities. They collaborate with large-volume CMOS foundries as manufacturing partners to deliver state-of-the-art products.

They are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Analog IC Design Engineer who is able to work independently to join their dynamic and international team. In this role, you will contribute to the design and development of cutting‑edge electro‑optical transceiver chips, working closely with a team of experts to achieve groundbreaking advancements in the field.

Responsibilities

• Design DC operational amplifiers, biasing circuits, digital gates, analog multiplexers, and high‑speed analog circuits in CMOS (or BiCMOS) technologies
• Build chip‑level hierarchies within a Cadence environment
• Develop auxiliary circuits to interface analog ICs with I2C or SPI digital control interfaces using IP blocks
• Apply advanced layout techniques to optimise current density and minimise parasitics, layout device matching
• Design IC pad frames for various technologies, including die bonding, flip‑chip, micro‑bumps, and micro‑Cu‑pillar, and create corresponding netlists
• Develop temperature‑independent biasing blocks using bandgap references
• Define and adhere to design methodologies and environments to ensure high‑quality outcomes
• Collaborate closely with the photonic design team to co‑design electrical and optical components, meeting stringent system‑level performance requirements across technology corners

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of industry experience in integrated circuit design in CMOS or BiCMOS in Bandgap, Current Bias, Current references, Operational Amplifiers, Voltage Regulators, Comparators, Control loops like Automatic Gain Control.
• Extensive experience with EIC design tools, particularly the Cadence Virtuoso and proven experience in developing actual products
• In‑depth knowledge of chip‑level electronic design flows for Design for Manufacturability (DFM) with a strong commitment to product quality and reliability
• Proactive problem‑solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team‑oriented, dynamic environment
