Senior Manager, Analog and Mixed Signal Design Engineering

Job Title

Senior Manager, Analog and Mixed Signal Design Engineering

Role Summary

Technical manager and analog/mixed-signal lead within the Digital BU, Processor Group. The role leads a small analog design team and is responsible for block definition, circuit design, analog subsystem integration, and coordination across digital integration, validation, production test and customer support.

Primary mission: deliver high-quality analog blocks on schedule that meet performance, power, area, and robustness targets and integrate predictably into mixed-signal systems.

Experience Level

Senior. Requires extensive hands-on analog/mixed-signal IC design experience and prior technical people-management (see Requirements for years of experience).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include technical leadership, design ownership, cross-functional integration, and team development.

• Translate system requirements into block-level architectures, specifications, and interface requirements.
• Design and review analog circuits/blocks to meet performance, power, area, and robustness targets.
• Drive cross-block alignment and tradeoffs; partner with digital design on integration and coordinate validation/silicon debug through bring-up and issue resolution.
• Create analog and mixed-signal models to support system verification and integration (including SystemVerilog modeling where appropriate).
• Supervise, mentor, and develop analog design team members; prioritize work and drive execution through reviews and technical decisions.
• Provide technical guidance to physical layout teams on constraints, matching/noise strategy, floorplan intent, and reviews.
• Collaborate with test engineering to ensure test coverage; analyze ATE characterization data to set test limits and validate performance.
• Evaluate devices in the lab to validate product specifications using standard bench equipment.
• Interface with customers and applications teams to support evaluation boards, software enablement, and customer issue resolution.
• Participate in root-cause analysis of customer returns and functional issues.

Requirements

Must-have technical experience and skills. Preferred items listed separately.

• 12+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience with ownership from architecture through silicon bring-up.
• 4+ years of technical people-management experience with direct reports (hiring, coaching, performance management).
• Demonstrated ability to serve as an analog technical lead while managing a team (prioritization, technical direction, design reviews, decision-making).
• Ownership of analog integration across the subsystem: interface definition, requirements alignment across blocks, cross-block tradeoffs, and coordinating validation/silicon debug with partners.
• Hands-on analog design across multiple blocks (ADCs/DACs, voltage references, op amps, switched-capacitor circuits, regulators, oscillators).
• Experience with mixed-signal/system modeling to support architecture, partitioning, and design trade-offs.
• Working knowledge of ESD protection methodology and design considerations for robust interfaces.
• Strong understanding of custom IC layout constraints (parasitics, matching, noise coupling) and effective partnership with layout to achieve PPA targets.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable driving alignment across design, layout, validation, and test.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience as stated in the posting.

Requirements (Preferred)

Nice-to-have qualifications that improve fit for the role.

• FinFET analog/mixed-signal design experience at advanced nodes.
• Experience with custom digital design supporting mixed-signal IP (calibration, state machines, control/trim logic, interfaces).
• Strong understanding of production test/DFT for analog/mixed-signal (ATE constraints, coverage, trim strategy, characterization).
• Experience defining end-user PCB/interface requirements (signal integrity, grounding, filtering, reference/clocking, pinout considerations).
