Integrated Circuit Mixed Signal Design Engineer

At Rakon, we engineer cutting-edge oscillator ASICs that form the core of our world-leading

precision timing products. With a relentless drive for innovation, we push design boundaries to

deliver TCXOs and OCXOs that lead the market by several years. Our first-time silicon success is

a testament to the exceptional skills of our design team. As we expand our ASIC team, we’re

seeking a talented and driven Mixed Signal Design Engineer to contribute to the development

of advanced mixed-signal systems. In this role, you’ll be collaborating with cross-disciplinary

teams to craft solutions that seamlessly bridge the analog and digital worlds—delivering high performance results in a dynamic and innovative environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement mixed signal circuits, including analog and digital components,
• from concept to production including all the following ADCs, DACs, OPAMPs, LDOs,
• Bandgaps and preferably PLLs.
• Develop and simulate circuit designs using industry-standard tools (e.g., Cadence,
• SPICE).
• Occasional mixed signal verification will also be required as part of the role to ensure
• optimal functionality and performance.
• Conduct layout reviews and work closely with layout engineers to optimize designs.
• Support silicon validation, testing, and debugging of prototypes and final products.
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration
• of mixed signal designs.
• Document design specifications, test results, and technical findings.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electronic engineering or a related field.
• 5 to 10 years of experience in mixed signal circuit design.
• Proficiency in analog and digital circuit design, including ADCs, DACs, OPAMPs, LDOs,
• Bandgaps and preferably PLLs.
• Strong understanding of CMOS technology and fabrication processes.
• Strong understanding of low phase noise design techniques
• Experience with EDA tools for simulation, design, and layout.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
