The Role and Impact
Join Intel's cutting-edge mixed-signal IP development team as a Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer. This role combines analog circuit design expertise with specialized focus on static timing analysis for next-generation mixed-signal systems. You'll drive timing closure across analog-digital interfaces while supporting comprehensive design verification activities that directly impact Intel's industry-leading products.
Working in a collaborative environment with analog designers and system architects, you'll leverage tools like Cadence ADE to execute simulations, debug complex testbenches, and optimize circuit performance. This position offers significant opportunities to enhance verification methodologies and contribute to behavioral modeling initiatives that accelerate silicon success.
If you are passionate about analog circuit design combined with mixed-signal verification (especially static timing analysis), and you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative setting, we encourage you to apply.
Key Responsibilities:
Static Timing Analysis & Design Closure
- Lead static timing analysis (STA) execution for mixed-signal designs, ensuring robust timing closure across analog-digital interfaces
- Drive timing optimization and constraint development for complex mixed-signal systems
Analog Circuit Design & Verification
- Execute analog circuit design tasks including simulation setup, testbench development, and schematic optimization using Cadence ADE
- Perform comprehensive mixed-signal verification encompassing analog simulations, behavioral modeling, and timing analysis
- Analyze simulation results for power, performance, and reliability compliance
Debug & Problem Resolution
- Investigate and resolve complex issues in analog testbenches and mixed-signal simulations
- Root-cause analysis of pre-silicon design challenges with systematic corrective action implementation
- Collaborate across disciplines with analog designers, digital architects, RTL teams, and physical design engineers
Methodology Enhancement
- Develop behavioral models to improve simulation accuracy and efficiency
- Advance verification flows and methodologies supporting evolving mixed-signal design requirements
- Contribute to automation initiatives using scripting and emerging AI technologies
Core Competencies
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, alongside effective team collaboration capabilities.
- Good communication skills
