Principal Mixed-Signal Design Engineer
Analog DevicesJob Title
Principal Mixed-Signal Design Engineer
Role Summary
Lead mixed-signal converter development within the Advanced Cores Group, owning circuit-architecture selection, transistor-level design, and coordination with layout, evaluation, and test teams.
Mission: deliver high-performance ADC/DAC converter cores for SoC integration, drive design reviews and documentation, and mentor other engineers.
Experience Level
Senior — posting specifies 10+ years of CMOS design experience and technical leadership.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead circuit development and evaluate/select circuit architectures for high-speed data converters.
- Design challenging transistor-level circuits (amplifiers, comparators, switched-capacitor circuits, precision voltage/current references, LDOs).
- Prepare design documentation and conduct design reviews.
- Guide and coordinate layout, evaluation, and test engineering teams through tapeout and silicon bring-up.
- Mentor and develop other design engineers and provide technical leadership.
Requirements
Technical must-haves and preferred skills:
- Must-have: 10+ years CMOS design experience, with hands-on work on high-speed data converters (pipeline ADC, SAR ADC, current-steering DAC).
- Must-have: Experience with Cadence schematic capture and SPICE simulation tools and strong transistor-level design skills.
- Must-have: Proven ability to lead technical efforts, produce effective design documents, and run design reviews.
- Nice-to-have: Signal processing knowledge related to calibration algorithms; experience using MATLAB for behavioral modeling.
- Nice-to-have: Strong written and verbal communication skills and experience working in large teams.
Education Requirements
M.S. or beyond in Electrical Engineering (master's degree or higher required as stated in the posting).
