Role Overview
We are seeking an Analog & Mixed-Signal IC Design Lead to drive the definition, execution, and delivery of next-generation high-speed interconnect silicon. This is a technical leadership role for an accomplished designer who pairs deep, hands-on expertise in high-speed wireline and mixed-signal design—SerDes front-ends, serial links beyond 10 Gbps, and precision data converters—with a proven track record of leading teams through multiple successful tape-outs in advanced CMOS nodes, including managing external design contractors to scale execution.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Execution
Lead an analog/mixed-signal design team across the full cycle—architecture, design, verification, tape-out, and bring-up—owning delivery for multiple concurrent tape-outs.
Plan execution across advanced CMOS nodes: block partitioning, schedules, resource allocation, and PPA targets.
Engage and manage external design contractors and IP vendors—scoping, reviewing, and integrating outsourced blocks to spec and schedule.




Enforce design-review discipline and shared methodologies, and mentor the team as its primary technical escalation point.
Hands-On Design
Design and verify high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuits: SerDes front-ends, serial links (>10 Gbps), ADCs, DACs, clock distribution, laser/modulator drivers, and TIAs.
Architect wireline SerDes front-ends, optical interconnect ICs, and multi-Gbps signal chains from concept through tape-out.
Develop transistor-level schematics and guide layout in advanced FinFET (7–16 nm) or SOI to meet PPA targets.
Drive pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon bring-up, closing specification gaps from measured silicon data.
Required Qualifications
Education & Experience
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (or related) with 6+ years, OR M.S. with 8+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.
Proven experience leading analog/mixed-signal teams to successful execution, with multiple tape-outs delivered in advanced CMOS no
