Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

AlphacoreTempe, AZApril 14th, 2026
Position: Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer What You'll Do :- As a Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer, you will provide technical leadership and drive the development of high-performance mixed-signal ICs. You will define architectures, lead key circuit design efforts, collaborate across layout and system teams, and play a central role in silicon bring-up and performance optimization. You will also mentor engineers and influence long-term design methodologies and IP strategy. Responsibilities Architect, design, and optimize high-performance mixed-signal IP and data conversion subsystems. Own development from initial concept, schematic design, and layout interaction through tapeout and silicon validation. Perform advanced transistor-level analysis (noise, linearity, jitter, sampling behavior, dynamic performance, Monte Carlo). Lead parasitic-aware layout strategies and guide floorplanning and matching techniques for high-performance designs. Drive silicon bring-up, identify performance gaps, root-cause issues, and close the loop to final product-level specifications. Contribute to multi-generation IP roadmaps, design methodology improvements, and strategic technical decisions. Requirements Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering with 10+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience,or Ph.D. with 5+ years relevant experience. Proven track record of architecting and delivering complex mixed-signal IP to silicon, such as data converters, analog front-ends, sampling circuits, precision amplifiers, or clocking/PLL systems. Deep understanding of analog/mixed-signal design fundamentals (device noise, matching, feedback, clocking/synchronization, parasitic-aware design). Demonstrated experience in silicon debug and closing performance to meet production targets. Strong communication skills and ability to lead technical decision-making. Nice to Have :- Experience with advanced CMOS or FinFET nodes. Experience with digitally-assisted calibration or mixed-signal correction algorithms. Customer, product, or architecture-level technical leadership. Job Type: Full-time Work Location: In person
