Senior/Staff Analog IC Design Engineer

About this role

About Us

PowerLattice is a well-funded semiconductor startup backed by leading Silicon Valley venture capital firms. We are developing a groundbreaking chiplet solution for a fundamental shift in how high-performance chips are powered, paving the way for the next generation of AI and advanced computing.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Senior or Staff level Analog IC Designer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will design and develop high-quality analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, contributing to fundamental analog building blocks from initial specification through post-layout verification and silicon validation.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including layout, verification, and silicon validation, and play a key role in delivering robust, production-ready designs.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design and develop core analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks, including bandgap references, oscillators, LDOs, op-amps, ADCs, and DACs

- Translate system and block-level specifications into robust circuit architectures and implementations

- Perform schematic capture, simulation, and optimization to meet performance, power, area, and reliability targets

- Provide layout guidance and collaborate closely with layout engineers to ensure design intent is met

- Perform post-layout (PEX) simulations and correlations with pre-layout analysis

- Participate in design reviews and contribute to clear, thorough design documentation

- Support silicon bring-up, block-level evaluation, characterization, and debugging

- Apply best practices for analog design, verification, and sign-off

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

This role is Hybrid requiring 3 days a week onsite in the office

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field

- 5+ years of hands-on analog design experience

- Strong foundation in analog circuit theory, device physics, and CMOS technologies

- Experience designing common analog blocks such as bandgaps, LDOs, oscillators, op-amps, ADCs, and DACs

- Proven ability to carry designs from specification through schematic, simulation, layout guidance, and post-layout verification

- Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence)

- Solid experience with DC, AC, transient, noise, and corner simulations

- Working knowledge of reliability, mismatch, and layout-dependent effects

- Hands-on laboratory experience, including silicon bring-up, bench characterization, and debugging of analog/mixed-signal ICs

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with deep submicron CMOS process technologies

- Familiarity with high-power or high-accuracy analog design techniques

- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment

Compensation & Benefits

Anticipated annual base salary for Member of Technical Staff: $150,000 - $200,000

- Stock option grant

- Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, and 401(k)
