Job Title: Staff Engineer, Analog design

Lumentum is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Staff Engineer, Analog Design to contribute to the development of high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for optical communication products. This role involves designing, simulating, and validating complex analog blocks and subsystems, ensuring they meet stringent performance, power, and cost requirements.

Job Responsibilities**

* Design and develop advanced analog and mixed-signal circuits, including but not limited to ADCs, DACs, transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), laser drivers, and various high-speed linear and non-linear circuits for optical modules.
* Perform detailed circuit simulations (e.g., SPICE, Spectre) to verify performance, robustness, and corner case behavior.
* Conduct layout supervision and parasitic extraction, working closely with layout engineers to ensure design integrity and manufacturability.
* Develop comprehensive test plans and participate in silicon validation, debug, and characterization in the lab.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams including digital designers, firmware engineers, system architects, and test engineers to define specifications, integrate designs, and troubleshoot issues.
* Analyze and resolve complex design problems, performance bottlenecks, and yield issues.
* Document design specifications, simulation results, test procedures, and characterization reports.
* Stay abreast of industry trends, new technologies, and design methodologies in analog and mixed-signal design.
* Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices within the design team.

Job Qualifications**

* Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 8+ years of relevant experience, or a Ph.D. with 5+ years of relevant experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design.
* Proven track record of successfully designing, taping out, and bringing to production complex analog ICs in advanced CMOS processes.
* Strong expertise in the design of high-speed analog building blocks such as op-amps, bandgaps, LDOs, voltage references, drivers, and receivers.
* Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Mentor Graphics Calibre, Synopsys Custom Compiler).
* Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics, analog layout techniques, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
* Experience with silicon characterization and debug using lab equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, parameter analyzers).
* Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a strong analytical mindset.
* Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills.
* Experience in optical communication applications (e.g., coherent transceivers, pluggable optics) is highly desirable.

Pay Range:

P60-USA-1 :$108,800.00 - $155,400.00
