Analog IC Design Engineer
Our client, a leader in advanced connectivity solutions, is shaping the future of high-speed data communication—powering innovation across AI, data centers, 5G infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, and beyond. As part of their Connectivity Products Group, you’ll help drive the development of next-generation direct detect and Coherent DSP solutions enabling 800Gbps, 1.6Tbps, and higher-speed interconnects.
As an Analog IC Design Engineer, you’ll contribute to cutting-edge analog and mixed-signal circuit design from concept through silicon characterization, collaborating with an elite team to push performance and power boundaries across advanced CMOS nodes.
What You’ll Do
Design and verify high-performance analog blocks aligned with system and industry specifications.
Collaborate with a team of top-tier engineers—supporting and being supported through shared ownership and technical leadership.
Optimize circuits to meet power, performance, and area (PPA) goals.
Propose and implement design and verification strategies to ensure robust, silicon-proven circuits.
Guide and review physical layout to reduce parasitics, stress, and process variability.
Present simulation results for peer review and technical validation.
Document design features, testbench setups, and key performance indicators.
Support the characterization team to validate post-silicon performance and correlate measurements to simulations.
What You’ll Need
MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Science, or a related technical field.
5+ years of experience in analog IC design, preferably with silicon-proven results.
Hands-on experience with advanced CMOS nodes.
Design experience with any of the following blocks: CTLE, slicers, high-speed ADCs, VCOs, PIs, PLLs, bandgaps, regulators, serializers/deserializers, phase detectors, or high-speed TX/RX architectures.
Strong understanding of parasitic-aware layout and reliability considerations (aging, stress, EM).
Proficiency with EDA tools for schematic, layout, and verification workflows.
Solid simulation background, including SPICE and behavioral modeling using Verilog-A.
Location Toronto – reporting to the Senior Director, Connectivity Products Group.
