Analog IC Design Engineer — High‑Speed Links & Advanced Analog Circuits (Multiple Positions)
Overview
Design advanced analog integrated circuits that enable the next-generation of ultra‑high‑speed interconnects for modern data centers. Work on high‑speed CTLEs, VGAs, PLLs, regulators, and other precision analog blocks for 100s‑of‑Gbps links. Join a fast‑paced, highly technical team where your designs directly shape Point2’s core product architecture and high‑frequency performance.
Responsibilities
- Design analog IC blocks including CTLEs, VGAs, SERDES and other high‑speed analog functions.
- Perform schematic and layout design in advanced SiGe and CMOS technologies.
- Analyze high‑frequency behavior including parasitics, coupling, EM effects, and transmission‑line interactions.
- Use Cadence, EMX, and Calibre for design, simulation, and verification.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering teams to integrate analog blocks into system‑level architectures.
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to performance optimization.
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant industry experience, or M.S. with 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Hands‑on experience designing analog IC blocks for high‑speed applications.
- Strong understanding of DC‑to‑tens‑of‑GHz analog design fundamentals.
- Proficiency with Cadence, EMX, and Calibre; Unix/SKILL experience a plus.
- Strong teamwork, communication, and multitasking skills.
Location(s)
- Silicon Valley, CA (San Jose metro area)
- Irvine, CA (Orange County area)
