Job Description

As a Junior Analog Design Engineer, you will be responsible for assisting in the design, simulation, and verification of analog and RF integrated circuits. This is an entry-level position that provides opportunities to learn and grow while contributing to the development of cutting-edge IC solutions. You will work under the guidance of senior designers and collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals.

Responsibilities

•       Work on the design and development of analog/RF circuits such as amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, PLLs, and ADCs/DACs.

•       Perform circuit simulations using tools like Cadence, Spectre, or ADS to verify circuit performance.

•      Participate in layout planning and work closely with layout engineers to optimize designs for performance, area, and manufacturability.

•   Contribute to the development of testbenches and support post-layout simulations.

• Collaborate with the verification team to ensure compliance with design specifications and industry standards.

• Document design processes, simulation results, and technical details for review and knowledge sharing.

• Participate in design reviews and provide feedback to improve the overall quality of the project.

• Stay updated on industry trends and best practices to continuously improve design methodologies.

Requirements

Qualinx is looking for a result-driven and conscientious analog/mixed-signal IC design engineer. Someone who thrives in an environment where your proactive and can-do attitude is highly appreciated. The ideal candidate for this role must have:

Must haves

•   Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• Basic understanding of Analog and RF circuit design principles and techniques.

• First experience in the industry of 1-2 years working on PLL, ADC, DAC, LNA, and/or bandgap…

• Familiarity with EDA tools for schematic capture, simulation, and layout (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre).

• Knowledge of basic RF concepts like S-parameters, impedance matching, and noise analysis.

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
