Hiring: Principal Analog Design Engineer — Mixed-Signal PHY (Clocking / High-Speed I/O) Company: Micron Technology Location: Boise, ID Job Posted Time: 2026-09-13 07:38:38 Target Skills & Keywords : LLM About the job Experience: •10+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC build experience with at least one tape-out in a primary circuit ownership role. Required Skills: •Lead the development of specialized analog components, focusing primarily on clocking (PLL, DLL, CDR) and transmitter/receiver circuits. •Contribute to the top-level PHY analog architecture decisions, including clocking topology and signal chain partitioning. •Build and maintain transistor-level simulation testbenches; perform process corner, statistical sampling, and evaluate variations to characterize build margin and yield sensitivity. •Define and detail clear interface specifications between custom analog blocks and the digital control wrapper. •Collaborate closely with the layout team to guide custom analog layout and support post-silicon characterization in the lab. Qualifications: •BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience. •Deep expertise in clocking circuit building — PLL, DLL, or CDR architecture and transistor-level implementation in sophisticated CMOS nodes. •Strong transistor-level simulation skills using HSpice or equivalent; comfort with corner, Monte Carlo, and mismatch analysis for yield-aware development. •Proven understanding of jitter analysis and its impact on high-speed link timing margins. •Demonstrated capacity to use AI/ML/LLMs for productivity and efficiency •Background in rapid receiver development — sense amplifiers, CTLE/DFE equalization, sampler development, and threshold calibration. •Operational familiarity with die-to-die or chip-to-chip PHY architectures — UCIe, AIB, BoW, or proprietary short-reach interconnect standards. •Post-silicon characterization experience — correlating simulation results to measured eye diagrams, BER curves, phase noise plots, and jitter histograms on real hardware. •Right to work click here.
