IO Circuit Design Engineer

About the role

This is a full-custom design role focused on mixed-signal IO and system validation. You will define module specifications, lead full-custom design tasks, and oversee the complete design lifecycle from initial specification through to successful tape-out.

Key responsibilities

• Define module specifications and full-custom design tasks
• Support layout activities, including floorplanning and optimization
• Independently oversee and perform module design tasks using full-custom flows based on advanced process nodes
• Work with system designers to refine analog circuit models and optimize design performance
• Lead final layout verification (DRC/LVS) and ensure the integrity of final tape-out data (GDSII)

About you

• Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in IP or SoC design, focusing on mixed-signal IO or system validation

• Mastery of full-custom design methodologies and proficiency with standard EDA tools for circuit design and simulation

• Strong understanding of analog circuit design, signal integrity, and device characteristics

• Proficient with EDA tools: Cadence, Hspice, Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS, etc.

• Strong foundation in analog circuit design and signal integrity

• Experience in designing LVDS, DDR3/4/5, LPDDR4/5, ADC, PLL, or Clock Networks (preferred)

• Excellent communication skills

• Bachelor's degree or above (Microelectronics or Integrated Circuits preferred)
