Senior Analog IC Design Engineer (f/m/d)

Job Title

Senior Analog IC Design Engineer (f/m/d)

Role Summary

Join the Wireless Power Design Center in Zurich to design transistor-level analog and mixed-signal circuits for power management ICs used in wireless power applications. You will work across architecture, circuit implementation, silicon validation and production support within a multidisciplinary engineering team.

This role focuses on high-performance analog building blocks and mixed-signal subsystem integration with responsibility from schematic through silicon bring-up.

Experience Level

Senior. The posting requires a minimum of 2 years of industrial experience in Analog IC Design; the role expects demonstrated ownership of complex analog/mixed-signal projects.

Responsibilities

The main responsibilities include design, verification and validation across the full IC development cycle:

• Design high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for Power Management applications (LDOs, bandgaps, op-amps, comparators, bias, reference, protection/monitoring).
• Develop and integrate mixed-signal subsystems including ADCs where applicable.
• Execute pre-layout and post-layout verification across PVT corners, Monte Carlo and reliability conditions.
• Collaborate with Layout, Digital, Verification, Applications, Product and Test teams to meet area, performance and manufacturability targets.
• Support silicon bring-up, characterization, debugging and production ramp; document and present technical results.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Minimum 2 years of industrial experience in Analog IC design.
• Strong understanding of CMOS analog circuit design fundamentals, including noise, mismatch, stability/compensation, process variation, reliability and low-power techniques.
• Hands-on experience designing analog building blocks for Power Management ICs.
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre and standard analog design methodologies.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills; experience with silicon characterization and validation.
• Good communication and teamwork skills; fluent in English.

Preferred:

• Experience with ADC design (SAR, Pipeline or Sigma-Delta architectures).
• Experience in mixed-signal IC development and BCD or High-Voltage CMOS technologies.
• Knowledge of wireless power or Power Management products.
• Laboratory characterization experience and scripting/programming (Python, SKILL, Perl, Tcl).

Education Requirements

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent). The posting explicitly allows equivalent practical experience.
