Analog Design Engineer

Analog and Mixed Signal Designer (Embedded Flash Memory)
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Analog and Mixed Signal Designer to contribute to the
development of cutting-edge embedded Flash Memory IPs, which are comprised of analog and mixed-
signal circuits. The ideal candidate will have a strong analog/mixed-signal background, hands-on
experience in relevant design areas, and a deep understanding of underlying device physics. This is an
Individual Contributor (IC) role focused on technical execution and collaborative innovation.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Technical Execution and Design:
 Execute the design, development, and verification of analog and mixed-signal circuits for flash
memory development, including charge pumps, voltage regulators, sense amplifiers, and
memory interfaces.
 Analyze and review circuit architectures to optimize performance, power, and area (PPA) under
the guidance of technical leads.
 Drive assigned technical tasks to address industry challenges in scaling, performance, and
reliability for flash.
 Collaborate with world-wide cross-functional teams, including layout, process, test engineering,
and product teams.
 Ensure designs meet technical specifications, project timelines, and quality standards.
 Identify and mitigate design risks, ensuring robust circuit performance under process, voltage,
and temperature (PVT) variations.
2. Collaboration and Communication:
 Work closely with flash bit-cell architecture and product teams to align circuit design with
system-level requirements.
 Interface with Process teams (Process Integration Engineers) to optimize technology for
flash/NVM applications.
 Present project updates, technical reviews, and status reports to stakeholders and senior
management.
3. Innovation and Best Practices:
 Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in embedded flash
and analog design.
 Contribute to the continuous improvement of design methodologies, tools, and workflows.
Qualifications:
1. Education:
 Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field.
2. Experience:
 3+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design, with demonstrated focus on
relevant embedded flash development concepts.
 Experience with complex designs and ownership of key circuit blocks.

3. Technical Skills:

 Deep understanding of NVM/embedded flash operation principles, including programming,
reading, and reliability considerations.
 Working experience with various analog building blocks, such as current mirrors, operational
amplifiers, sense amplifiers, charge pumps, oscillators, and LDOs.
 Proficient in design and simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE simulators, extraction
tools).
 Familiarity with process technology and layout considerations for relevant advanced nodes (e.g.,
28nm).
 Device physics knowledge, particularly related to reliability and device behavior over PVT.
 Proficiency in scripting languages such as PERL or Python.
4. Desirable:
 Experience in silicon bring-up, debug, and characterization.
 Knowledge of reliability challenges such as endurance, retention, and soft errors in flash/NVM.
 Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
 Strong verbal and written communication skills.
 Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions.
 Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery.
 Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.
 Ability to take the initiative and drive for results.
