PowerLattice is hiring a Senior/Staff Analog IC Design Engineer

About Us PowerLattice is a well-funded semiconductor startup backed by leading Silicon Valley venture capital firms. We are developing a groundbreaking chiplet solution for a fundamental shift in how high-performance chips are powered, paving the way for the next generation of AI and advanced computing. About the Role We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Senior or Staff level Analog IC Designer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will design and develop high-quality analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, contributing to fundamental analog building blocks from initial specification through post-layout verification and silicon validation. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including layout, verification, and silicon validation, and play a key role in delivering robust, production-ready designs. Key Responsibilities - Design and develop core analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks, including bandgap references, oscillators, LDOs, op-amps, ADCs, and DACs - Translate system and block-level specifications into robust circuit architectures and implementations - Perform schematic capture, simulation, and optimization to meet performance, power, area, and reliability targets - Provide layout guidance and collaborate closely with layout engineers to ensure design intent is met - Perform post-layout (PEX) simulations and correlations with pre-layout analysis - Participate in design reviews and contribute to clear, thorough design documentation - Support silicon bring-up, block-level evaluation, characterization, and debugging - Apply best practices for analog design, verification, and sign-off Minimum Qualifications This role is Hybrid requiring 3 days a week onsite in the office - Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field - 5+ years of hands-on analog design experience - Strong foundation in analog circuit theory, device physics, and CMOS technologies - Experience designing common analog blocks such as bandgaps, LDOs, oscillators, op-amps, ADCs, and DACs - Proven ability to carry designs from specification through schematic, simulation, layout guidance, and post-layout verification - Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence) - Solid experience with DC, AC, transient, noise, and corner simulations - Working knowledge of reliability, mismatch, and layout-dependent effects - Hands-on laboratory experience, including silicon bring-up, bench characterization, and debugging of analog/mixed-signal ICs Preferred Qualifications - Experience with deep submicron CMOS process technologies - Familiarity with high-power or high-accuracy analog design techniques - Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment Compensation & Benefits Anticipated annual base salary for Member of Technical Staff: $150,000 - $200,000 - Stock option grant - Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, and 401(k)
