We pioneer next-generation wireless IC solutions to power mobile edge, infrastructure, and aerospace applications. With a strong focus on ultra-reliable, fast-response connectivity and eco-friendly chip innovation, Emtar is shaping the future of global communications.
Position Overview
We are seeking a highly accomplished Analog / Mixed-Signal IC Engineer to join our R&D team. The successful candidate will lead the design, verification, and productization of state-of-the-art analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. This position requires a solid theoretical foundation, proven industrial experience, and the ability to transform complex design challenges into manufacturable and scalable solutions.
Key Responsibilities
• Architecture & Design: Define system architecture and design analog/mixed-signal building blocks such as low-noise amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, oscillators, filters, and biasing networks.
• Verification & Analysis: Perform transistor-level simulation, modeling, and corner analysis (PVT, mismatch, Monte Carlo). Analyze circuit performance across supply variations, noise, and parasitic loading.
• Layout Oversight: Collaborate with layout engineers; provide clear device-level matching, shielding, symmetry, and parasitic-sensitive design guidelines. Review post-layout results and optimize for yield, power, and area.
• System Integration: Work with cross-functional teams on chip-level integration, DFT (design-for-test), and silicon bring-up/validation.
• Innovation & IP: Drive innovative designs suitable for patent filing or trade secret protection. Contribute to company’s IP portfolio.
• Quality & Reliability: Conduct rigorous design reviews, prepare detailed documentation, and ensure compliance with reliability standards and customer requirements.
• Mentorship: Provide technical guidance to junior engineers, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
• Industry Engagement: Stay abreast of emerging technologies, participate in conferences, and evaluate new methodologies/tools for continuous improvement.
Minimum Qualifications
• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (or a closely related field) with a focus on analog/mixed-signal IC design.
• Minimum 5 years of industry experience (domestic or international) in semiconductor design, product development, or related R&D roles.
• In-depth knowledge of semiconductor device physics and CMOS/BiCMOS fabrication technologies.
• Expertise in circuit analysis (noise, linearity, stability, frequency response, feedback/compensation).
• Demonstrated expertise in designing and validating key analog/mixed-signal circuits, including single/dual-slope ADCs, sigma-delta modulators, SerDes, voltage regulators, and DC-DC converters.
• Strong understanding of layout-dependent effects (mismatch, parasitics, power distribution, IR drop, substrate coupling).
• Proficiency in English technical communication (oral and written).
Preferred Skills
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE, and post-silicon validation workflows.
• Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink, Verilog-A/AMS, and behavioral modeling.
• Track record of publications, patents, or commercialized ICs.
• Demonstrated ability in cross-functional collaboration (product definition, silicon characterization, customer engagement).
• Leadership in mentoring, training, or delivering technical presentations.
Work Conditions
• Full-time permanent employment (40 hours per week).
• Comprehensive benefits package (health insurance, paid vacation, etc.).
• Office and laboratory environment, with occasional travel for conferences, customer meetings, or silicon validation support.
