Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Create, manage, and verify analog integrated circuit layouts from schematics using CAD tools. Floorplan and implement layouts, ensure compliance with manufacturing rules, perform DRC and ERC checks, support design reviews, prepare data for fab handoff, and collaborate with design, packaging, and process engineering teams. The role also involves documentation, layout automation, and optimizing designs for precision, area, reliability, power, speed, and ESD requirements.

Lead customer support, product characterization, high-speed electro-optical test setup development, measurement automation, and data analysis for optical ICs and silicon photonics products. The role coordinates testing across global sites, manages equipment and vendors, supports customer design-ins, presents results, and supervises junior applications engineers.

Develops innovative RF, SerDes, and mm-wave integrated circuits and systems from architecture through silicon validation. Responsibilities include circuit design and simulation, RF and system characterization, electromagnetic modeling, PCB development, competitive benchmarking, technology transfer, and collaboration with process, packaging, business-unit, customer, and university research partners.

Directs and guides analog and mixed-signal IC design functions, overseeing development and evaluation of electronic components and hardware systems. Evaluates R&D outcomes, presents technical project reports, recommends actions, and manages personnel development and performance. Requires collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, strong communication, analytical problem-solving, teamwork, initiative, and project delivery skills.

Supports customer design-ins for analog and motor-drive products through schematic and layout reviews, board-level debugging, evaluation-board design, bench characterization, automation, datasheet review, silicon testing, reference designs, and application-note development. The engineer collaborates with systems engineers and customers, provides technical support, and helps new products progress from development through production ramp.

Develop and improve LLVM/Clang-based compiler infrastructure for Arm microcontrollers and proprietary DSPs. Collaborate with application, architecture, design, and engineering teams to enhance compiler performance and support architectural improvements. Work under mentorship while applying software development, debugging, performance analysis, testing, compiler design, and computer architecture knowledge.

Develop and lead RF, SerDes, and mm-wave integrated circuits from architecture and simulation through silicon validation. Responsibilities include RF and analog IP design, layout guidance, characterization strategy, PCB development, RF and system-level measurements, competitive benchmarking, technology collaboration, productization, and university research liaison activities.

Leads semiconductor process engineering teams supporting 300mm high-volume manufacturing. Owns tool installation, process release, capacity enablement, cost reduction, sustaining engineering, excursion response, root-cause resolution, SPC governance, and continuous improvement. Partners with manufacturing, equipment, integration, technology, yield, operations, and facilities teams while reporting operational performance to senior leadership.

Leads a cross-functional semiconductor process engineering team developing advanced analog technology. Oversees process optimization across major wafer-fabrication modules, process integration, root-cause resolution, technology transfer, and concurrent development programs. Manages workforce planning, performance, succession, and talent development while coordinating with integration, device, equipment, manufacturing, and operations teams. Communicates program status, risks, and technology readiness to site and executive leadership.

Evaluates, selects, installs, upgrades, maintains, and supports semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The role monitors equipment performance and reliability, improves uptime, resolves manufacturing-impacting equipment issues, supports repair and process engineering teams, and develops preventive maintenance programs. Expertise with semiconductor equipment, vacuum technologies, cleanroom protocols, SPC, and equipment monitoring is preferred.
