Key Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee the Analog and Mixed-Signal Design division, providing technical guidance across various projects.
• Manage analog design programs from defining specifications to silicon validation, including architecture, circuit design, simulations, layout collaboration, verification, and tape-out.
• Make architectural and design choices focused on high-performance analog and mixed-signal components.
• Offer technical leadership in diverse domains such as ADC/DAC data converters, PLLs/DLLs and clocking circuitry, bandgap references, LDOs, power management, amplifiers, SerDes/high-speed I/O analog blocks, sensor interfaces, analog front-end, and mixed-signal interfaces.
• Review circuit architectures, schematics, simulation outcomes, and ensure adherence to advanced design methodologies.
• Conduct analyses including PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature), Monte Carlo, mismatch, noise, stability, reliability, and corner case evaluations.
• Collaborate extensively with related teams such as Analog Layout, Physical Design, RTL, Digital Verification, DFT, STA, and System Integration to ensure smooth SoC integration.
• Lead technical reviews, design finalizations, and evaluate risks throughout project lifecycles.
• Ensure design quality, punctual schedule achievements, successful tape-outs, and silicon bring-up.
• Continuously enhance analog design methodologies, workflows, and best practices.
• Mentor senior engineers, technical leads, and architects, fostering professional growth and skill advancement.
• Build and grow a high-efficiency analog design team.
• Engage directly with customers, delivering technical presentations, participating in project planning, and defining solutions.
• Support business development activities by contributing technical inputs for proposals, estimates, and new client interactions.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks at early stages.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of emerging technologies in analog, mixed-signal, semiconductor, and advanced process nodes.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• Minimum of 14 years experience in Analog or Mixed-Signal IC design.
• Expertise in CMOS analog circuit design and semiconductor device knowledge.
• Proven leadership in managing analog design teams and large-scale chip development initiatives.
• In-depth understanding of analog circuit architectures, transistor-level design, as well as simulation and verification techniques.
• Proficient in industry-standard analog design tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/SpectreRF, and ADE, along with Calibre or equivalent verification suites.
• Strong competency in SPICE simulations and comprehensive circuit analysis.
• Experience with advanced or FinFET semiconductor process technologies is advantageous.
• Knowledgeable about analog layout principles and interplay between circuit design and layout.
• Hands-on experience in silicon validation, debugging, characterization, and post-silicon analysis.
• Strong grasp of analog design basics such as noise, mismatch, stability, device modeling, parasitic effects, PVT variation, and reliability.
• Experience leading cross-disciplinary teams and interacting with global customers.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, presentation, and leadership abilities.

Leadership Expectations

• Proven ability to establish and lead strong analog engineering units.
• Capability to combine strategic oversight with hands-on technical involvement.
• Strong ownership and accountability for technical project delivery.
• Influential in architectural and design choices across multi-disciplinary teams.
• Effective stakeholder and customer relationship management skills.
• Mentoring skills for developing senior technical staff into future leaders.
• Skillful management of multiple projects, competing priorities, and customer deliverables.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with FinFET or other advanced-node semiconductor technologies.
• Background in automotive, networking, HPC, consumer electronics, or connectivity SoCs.
• Expertise in high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Previous roles such as Analog Design Manager, Group Manager, Architect, Senior Principal Engineer, Associate Director, or Director.
• Strong track record of customer-facing technical leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to develop analog design teams and engineering capabilities from inception.
