We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Analog IC Designer to join our growing team in Penang. The successful candidate will be responsible for the full design lifecycle of analog and mixed-signal blocks within PMICs, from concept to silicon validation. This role requires an understanding of analog design principles and the ability to deliver high-performance and reliable integrated circuits.
What you will do
Design and simulate analog and mixed-signal circuits for PMICs, including but not limited to:
Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs)
Voltage references
Current references
Oscillators
Error amplifiers
Comparators
Protection circuits (Over-Voltage, Over-Current, Short-Circuit)
Thermal management circuits
Perform thorough circuit simulations (transient, AC, DC, noise, stability, etc.) using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys).
Collaborate closely with layout engineers to ensure optimal physical implementation and adherence to design rules and performance requirements.
Participate in silicon validation and characterization, including the development of test plans, bench setup, and data analysis.
Debug and resolve design issues found during simulation, layout, and silicon validation phases.
Document design specifications, simulation results, and test reports.
Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including system engineers, digital designers, and test engineers.
What you will need
Minimum: Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field with a focus on Analog Integrated Circuit Design.
Preferred: PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with a focus on Analog Integrated Circuit Design.
Technical Skills:
Strong fundamentals in analog circuit theory and device physics.
Familiar with industry-standard EDA tools for schematic capture, simulation (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS Designer), and layout (Cadence Virtuoso XL/GXL).
Knowledge on silicon process technologies (CMOS, BCD) and their design constraints.
A 1~2 years of hands-on experience in analog circuit design is preferred.
Experience with silicon characterization and debugging using lab equipment is a plus (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, etc.).
Personal Skills:
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong communication (verbal and written) and interpersonal skills.
Proactive and self-motivated with a strong drive to learn and contribute.
