Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Analog IC Designer to join our growing team in Penang. The successful candidate will be responsible for the full design lifecycle of analog and mixed-signal blocks within PMICs, from concept to silicon validation. This role requires understanding of analog design principles, and ability to deliver high-performance and reliable integrated circuits.

Responsibilities:

• Design and simulate analog and mixed-signal circuits for PMICs, including but not limited to:
• Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs)
• Voltage references
• Current references
• Oscillators
• Error amplifiers
• Comparators
• Protection circuits (Over-Voltage, Over-Current, Short-Circuit)
• Thermal management circuits
• Perform thorough circuit simulations (transient, AC, DC, noise, stability, etc.) using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys).
• Collaborate closely with layout engineers to ensure optimal physical implementation and adherence to design rules and performance requirements.
• Participate in silicon validation and characterization, including the development of test plans, bench setup, and data analysis.
• Debug and resolve design issues found during simulation, layout, and silicon validation phases.
• Document design specifications, simulation results, and test reports.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including system engineers, digital designers, and test engineers.
  
  
  

Requirements:

• Minimum: Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field with a focus on Analog Integrated Circuit Design.
• Preferred: PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with a focus on Analog Integrated Circuit Design.
  
  
  

Technical Skills:

• Strong fundamentals in analog circuit theory and device physics.
• Familiar with industry-standard EDA tools for schematic capture, simulation (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS Designer), and layout (Cadence Virtuoso XL/GXL).
• Knowledge on silicon process technologies (CMOS, BCD) and their design constraints.
• A 1:2 years of hands-on experience in analog circuit design is preferred.
• Experience with silicon characterization and debugging using lab equipment is a plus (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, etc.).
  
  
  

Personal Skills:

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication (verbal and written) and interpersonal skills.
• Proactive and self-motivated with a strong drive to learn and contribute.
