Cadence Design Systems - Lead Analog Design Engineer - SoC

About Cadence :

Cadence is a global leader in electronic design automation, known for driving innovation across semiconductors, systems, and AI-driven computing platforms. With over three decades of computational software expertise, Cadence delivers advanced technologies that enable our customers to build extraordinary electronic products.

Role Overview :

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically strong Lead Analog Design Engineer to drive the design and development of high-speed PHY IPs such as USB3, PCIe, DPHY, and more. You will be a key contributor in the analog design domain and participate in the full lifecycle of IP developmentfrom specification to silicon validation. This role also involves collaboration with layout, digital, and system-level teams, along with customer-facing engagements.

Key Responsibilities :

• Lead and contribute to the design of high-speed analog / mixed-signal IPs including PLLs, data converters, and high-speed serial interfaces (USB3, PCIe, MIPI DPHY, etc.)
• Own and execute full custom analog design including transistor-level schematic design, simulation, verification, and silicon debug
• Collaborate closely with layout engineers to ensure optimal layout and performance of the analog blocks
• Support physical design and post-layout validation, ensuring compliance with power, performance, and area (PPA) targets
• Perform integration of analog IPs into larger SoC environments and validate at chip level
• Participate in silicon characterization, debug, and bring-up on ATE or lab platforms
• Document design specifications, simulation results, test plans, and silicon results
• Interface with cross-functional teams including digital, software, validation, and application engineers to deliver robust and production-quality IPs
• Engage in technical discussions with customers to understand requirements, support integration, and resolve post-silicon issues

Technical Requirements :

Proven experience in designing and delivering IPs such as :
