This role is designed for a highly experienced industry analog designer with deep technical expertise, strong system-level thinking, and a proven ability to guide design teams through complex mixed-signal challenges. The position combines hands-on technical contribution with technical leadership and mentoring responsibilities.

Key Technical & Leadership Responsibilities
Architectural Ownership
• Define architecture, specifications, and design methodologies for high-performance analog IP, including PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, DACs, filters, high-speed I/O interfaces, and related circuits used in TCG products
• Drive top-level mixed-signal system architecture to ensure robust integration of analog IP within complex SoC environments
• Influence long-term analog IP direction and contribute to product roadmap discussions
Technical Leadership
• Provide senior-level technical guidance to analog design teams through design reviews, modeling strategy, simulation methodology, and silicon bring-up
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor for junior and mid-level designers, supporting sound design decisions and skill development
• Influence design trade-offs, verification approaches, and modeling strategies across multiple projects
Hands-On Technical Contribution
• Lead transistor-level design and advanced simulations across process corners and operating conditions
• Develop and review behavioral and Verilog-A models to support efficient mixed-signal SoC simulation
• Guide silicon validation, characterization, test planning, and system-level laboratory evaluation
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Partner closely with architects, digital and mixed-signal designers, layout teams, product engineers, and multi-site engineering groups
• Support first-pass silicon success through disciplined design execution and cross-team coordination

Requirements/Qualifications:
