Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Role Summary

Senior engineer on the Hearables and Wearables consumer IC team responsible for analysis, design, simulation, characterization, and release-to-production of ultra-low power mixed-signal integrated circuits. The role focuses on audio converters, power management, clocking systems and system-level block integration for edge processing in wearable audio devices.

Experience Level

Senior level. Typical expectation: 5+ years of CMOS IC design experience (see Education Requirements for degree guidance).

Responsibilities

Lead and execute mixed-signal IC design from architecture through production; collaborate across disciplines to integrate and verify blocks at the chip level.

• Define architecture and design complex mixed-signal ICs and blocks.
• Drive technical decisions for mixed-signal block integration and system-level tradeoffs.
• Perform schematic design, verification, and laboratory characterization of mixed-signal circuits.
• Develop and optimize test and measurement strategies addressing performance, noise, timing, and power.
• Manage layout and post-layout simulation activities and address silicon bring-up issues.
• Work with digital design and verification teams on block and chip-level integration and verification.
• Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and influence design approaches.
• Travel up to ~10% for collaboration and lab work.

Requirements

Must-have technical competencies and professional skills for immediate contribution.

• Proven mixed-signal CMOS IC design experience with strong problem-solving and hands-on lab skills (schematic, simulation, silicon characterization).
• Experience developing test strategies and performing noise, timing, and power analysis on mixed-signal blocks.
• Ability to diagnose and resolve complex IC issues in the laboratory and in simulation.
• Strong written and verbal communication and demonstrated cross-team collaboration.
• Experience working with digital teams on block and system integration and verification.

Nice-to-have / Preferred:

• Experience in audio ADC/DAC design and power-management ICs.
• Proficiency with Cadence schematic capture and SPICE simulation.
• Familiarity with MATLAB or similar modeling tools and digital signal processing concepts.
• Analog/digital behavioral modeling experience.

Education Requirements

M.S. in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of CMOS IC design experience, or a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. The posting indicates electrical engineering or closely related technical fields and allows equivalent practical experience for CMOS IC design roles.
