Design Verification Engineer

Analog Front-End Engineer

Quest Global delivers world-class end-to-end engineering solutions by leveraging our deep industry knowledge and digital expertise. By bringing together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals and their areas of expertise, we are able to solve problems better, faster. This multi-dimensional approach enables us to solve the most critical and large-scale challenges across the aerospace & defense, automotive, energy, hi-tech, healthcare, medical devices, rail and semiconductor industries.

We are looking for humble geniuses, who believe that engineering has the potential to make the impossible possible; innovators, who are not only inspired by technology and innovation, but also perpetually driven to design, develop, and test as a trusted partner for Fortune 500 customers. As a team of remarkably diverse engineers, we recognize that what we are really engineering is a brighter future for us all. If you want to contribute to meaningful work and be part of an organization that truly believes when you win, we all win, and when you fail, we all learn, then we're eager to hear from you.

The achievers and courageous challenge-crushers we seek, have the following characteristics and skills :

Design analog front-end circuits, ADCs / DACs, comparators, and charge-domain memory circuits supporting 48b MACs per cell.

Model and simulate analog / mixed-signal circuits for noise, reliability, mismatch, and variation-aware robustness under workload stress. Develop and verify mixed-signal interfaces between analog compute arrays and digital controllers, including timing and calibration logic.

Implement fault correction schemes such as ECC, BIST, and redundancy logic for multi-bit precision memory-CIM arrays.

Integrate analog circuits into digital layout flow, ensuring compatibility across multiple voltage and clock domains.

Collaborate with digital design teams on interface definitions and with layout teams for floorplan, power grid, and isolation strategies.

Contribute to tapeout execution : DRC / LVS signoff, corner simulation, test mode planning, and silicon debug hooks.

8+ years of production-level analog / mixed-signal IC design, including experience in embedded memory, compute-in-memory, or high-precision sensor front ends.

Deep expertise in ADC / DAC design (SAR, pipelined, current-steering) and analog compute blocks (capacitive MACs, charge integrators).

Strong understanding of multi-voltage and multi-clock domain integration, including domain isolation, level shifting, and interface timing closure.

Demonstrated experience in analog / digital co-design with mixed-signal floorplanning and layout coordination. Familiarity with ECC, redundancy logic, and self-test / BIST for analog memory arrays.

Tools : Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Verilog-AMS, Synopsys CustomSim, Calibre, mixed-signal simulation environments.

Experience with advanced process nodes including 22nm / 18nm FDSOI and 12nm FinFET is a strong plus.

Pay Range : $160,000 - $180,000 a year
