Full Job Description
We are seeking a Principal Analog Design Engineer to lead the design, integration, and delivery of advanced analog and mixed-signal IPs for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. This role is critical in developing and integrating high-performance analog subsystems within the HBM logic die, enabling industry-leading bandwidth, power efficiency, and reliability.
As a principal engineer, you will provide deep technical leadership across analog design, IP integration, system alignment, and silicon execution, driving end-to-end success of HBM solutions.
Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Lead the design and own critical HBM analog circuits, including:
- High-speed transmitters and receivers
- Clock generation and distribution (PLLs, DLLs, CDRs)
- SerDes-related analog blocks
- Biasing, reference, and calibration circuits
- Power delivery and regulation circuits (LDOs, regulators)
- Define and lead IP interfaces, power domains, clocking schemes, and reset strategies across subsystems
- Perform detailed pre-layout and post-layout simulations
- Conduct PVT, Monte Carlo, mismatch, and aging analyses
- Work closely with layout engineers to define floorplanning and symmetry requirements, ensure matching, shielding, and EM/IR compliance
- Review and sign off on analog layouts
- Drive layout-aware build optimizations for advanced nodes
- Define guidelines for analog build, documentation, and reuse
- Collaborate across analog, digital, system, packaging, and test teams
Minimum Qualifications:
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
- ~10-15+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC build
Proven expertise in:
- High-speed interface design
- Clocking circuits (PLL/DLL/CDR)
- Power management circuits
- Strong experience in:
- Analog IP integration at subsystem or SoC level
- SPICE simulation, extraction, and modeling
- Silicon bring-up and lab validation
- Deep understanding of:
- Advanced CMOS processes
- Noise, jitter, SI/PI, and cross-domain coupling effects
Preferred Qualifications:
- Deep knowledge of DRAM sub-system architecture, specification, operation, or build.
- Understanding of Physical Layout & Circuit Floor Planning
- Excellent Problem-Solving & Analytical Skills
