An analog IC (Integrated Circuit) design engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and testing analog circuits that are used in electronic devices.
The specific responsibilities of an analog IC design engineer can vary depending on the company and the specific project, but generally include the following:
- Designing and developing analog circuits using tools such as SPICE simulation software, schematic capture, and layout tools.
- Conducting research to identify and evaluate new technologies and materials that can be used in the design of analog circuits.
- Collaborating with other engineers and professionals, such as digital IC designers, PCB designers, and test engineers, to ensure that the analog circuit meets the requirements and specifications of the overall system. Best practices mentioned here : https://youtu.be/hvee5hyfjoo
- Conducting thorough testing and verification of the analog circuit to ensure that it meets the required performance, power, and area (PPA) metrics. PPA explained here : https://youtu.be/Px5EIWeqy4I
- Debugging and troubleshooting issues that arise during the design and testing process. Various industry standard parctice are disscussed here : https://youtu.be/KPn2YaevUA4
Overall, the role of an analog IC design engineer is critical in ensuring that electronic devices function properly and meet the required specifications for their intended use.
