## About the role

Astera Labs is redefining the connectivity that powers rack-scale AI infrastructure, and analog design is at the heart of it. As a Principal Analog Design Engineer, you will architect and design the high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits that anchor our SerDes, PHY, and high-speed I/O — the silicon building blocks that move data at the speed AI demands. Your work directly shapes the performance, power, and reliability of products deployed in the world's most advanced data centers.

## What they're looking for

- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- 8+ years of experience in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design
- Proven track record designing high-speed analog circuits such as PLLs, SerDes front-ends, data converters, references, or regulators in advanced CMOS/FinFET nodes
- Strong understanding of physical-layer design principles, signal integrity, and high-speed I/O
- Proficiency with industry-standard design and simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre) and solid layout/parasitic-aware design skills
- Experience taking multiple analog/mixed-signal designs through full production tape-out and high-volume manufacturing
