Battelle's Advanced Microsystem Solutions Business Line is seeking an experienced Analog and Mixed-Signal ASIC Design Engineer to join our team in Columbus, Ohio
.

“From Silicon to Systems” - We are an elite, multi-disciplinary team, bringing together the brightest minds from physics, computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics to develop unique embedded security solutions for government and industrial customers.

The successful candidate will contribute to the design, analysis, verification, and silicon validation of custom integrated circuits supporting advanced cybersecurity, trusted hardware, and embedded system applications. This role focuses primarily on analog and mixed-signal circuit design while collaborating closely with digital design, verification, physical design, and system integration teams.

The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience delivering analog or mixed-signal ASICs from concept through silicon, including schematic design, simulation, layout review, verification, foundry interaction, and laboratory characterization.

• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for advanced security and embedded computing applications.
• Perform architecture trade studies and circuit-level design of ADCs, DACs, PLLs, DLLs, bandgap references, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, oscillators, sensor interfaces, and more.
• Develop transistor-level schematics and perform circuit simulation using industry-standard EDA tools.
• Design, implement, and verify, analog and mixed-signal circuit development from architecture through schematic capture, layout, verification, tapeout, and silicon bring-up.
• Perform and review all required design verification and signoff activities including pre- and post-layout simulation, parasitic extraction, DRC, LVS, ERC, corner analysis, Monte Carlo analysis, noise analysis, electromigration and reliability verification, and foundry tapeout signoff.
• Support mixed-signal integration with digital ASIC and FPGA teams.
• Interface with semiconductor foundries throughout design, fabrication, and bring-up activities.
• Develop laboratory test plans and perform silicon characterization and debug.
• Lead technical efforts, mentor junior engineers, and support proposal and IRAD activities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 3+ years of relevant experience;
  Master’s degree with 1+ years; or PhD.
• Demonstrated experience designing analog or mixed-signal integrated circuits that have reached fabrication and silicon validation.
• Strong understanding of CMOS device physics and analog circuit fundamentals.
• Experience with Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE, Pegasus, or Calibre.
• Experience performing schematic capture, analog simulation, corner analysis, Monte Carlo analysis, DRC/LVS verification, and post-layout verification.
• Experience working with semiconductor foundries and process design kits (PDKs).
• Understanding of mixed-signal integration challenges including noise isolation, power integrity, clocking, and substrate coupling.
• Experience with leading Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) creation and labor estimates.
• Ability to work independently and in a multi-disciplinary environment
• Organize and follow standard operating procedures and health and safety guidelines
