Director, Analog/Mixed Signal DesignLocation: San Jose, CA (on-site)
We are hiring a Director of Analog/Mixed Signal Design to lead the team responsible for the advanced circuits at the heart of our optical I/O products. You will own the analog/mixed-signal design strategy and execution for high-bandwidth optical links, including high-speed transmit and receive signal paths, clocking, data conversion, biasing, and power-management circuits. You will set clear technical direction, maintain a rigorous design methodology, and remove execution barriers, ensuring that the team delivers production-quality silicon on schedule.
Key Responsibilities- Drive architectural decisions for the high-speed optical PHY of our next-generation product: TX path, RX path, clocking, and mixed-signal control loops against a system-level link budget shared with the photonics and laser teams.
- Drive co-design efforts across the EIC/PIC boundary.
- Lead the silicon-success methodology: first-silicon-success expectations, debug discipline, characterization-to-production.
- Mentor AMS design engineers in design reviews and silicon debug.
- Represent the AMS organization in cross-functional architecture reviews, customer technical engagements, and foundry/EDA partner discussions.
- Manage and scale the design team to develop IP intercepting multiple parallel products.
Basic Qualifications- B.S. in Electrical Engineering
- 12+ years of industry experience in analog/mixed signal design
- Track record of production tapeouts in advanced FinFET CMOS nodes
- Demonstrated ability to deliver complex analog/mixed-signal IP across multiple concurrent programs.
Preferred Qualifications- M.S. or Ph.D in Electrical Engineering
Annual Salary Range: $240,000 - $300,000
