Main Duties
Responsibilities
As a Senior Analog Design Engineer, you will be a key technical contributor within the analog design group, responsible for the following:
- Design and develop high-performance mixed signal circuits for audio DACs, ADCs, PLLs, and supporting building blocks such as bandgaps, temperature sensors, charge pumps, and voltage regulators.
- Own specification definition, architecture, circuit design, verification, layout supervision, and characterization of complex analog and mixed signal ICs, from concept through production sampling.
- Lead and participate at a senior level in tapeouts of complex mixed signal ICs, coordinating closely with layout, verification, and product engineering teams.
- Design and characterize Class D amplifier building blocks, including H-Bridge output stages using BCD process technology.
- Develop new circuit architectures and assess the complexity, risk, and schedule trade-offs of new designs.
- Mentor junior and mid-level analog designers and contribute to design reviews across the analog design group.
- Partner with the Director, Analog IC Design on technical planning, project prioritization, and resourcing for the group.
- Support other groups with testing, qualifying, and releasing designs to production.
- Evaluate and apply AI-assisted design tools and flows to improve design productivity, verification coverage, and turnaround time.
- Some travel may be required from time to time to meet with ESS headquarters in California.
- A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) is required; a Master’s degree (MSEE) is a plus.
- 5+ years of experience in analog or mixed signal IC design.
- Demonstrated experience designing data converters (DACs/ADCs), PLLs, bandgaps, temperature sensors, charge pumps, and voltage regulators.
- Experience with BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) process technology; hands-on experience designing H-Bridge output stage applications is preferred.
- Hands-on experience with Synopsys Custom Compiler for schematic entry, simulation, and layout is required.
- Strong knowledge of CMOS technologies (0.18-um to 12-nm) containing large digital blocks and precision analog circuits.
- Proficiency with SPICE, MATLAB, and related simulation and analysis tools.
- Experience using AI-assisted design tools or flows to accelerate design, verification, or layout tasks is a strong plus.
- Solid layout knowledge and understanding of parasitic component effects.
- Comfortable with common lab equipment, such as oscilloscopes, function generators, power supplies, and soldering equipment.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to mentor junior engineers and collaborate across digital, layout, product, and test engineering teams.
- Basic digital design skills at the gate level and familiarity with Verilog are an added benefit.
