Senior Principal Analog / Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior Principal Analog / Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

Role Summary

Serve as a technical authority for mixed-signal integrated circuit design within ADI's Cork team, leading architecture and circuit-level development for high-performance analog and mixed-signal products.

Main responsibilities include driving advanced circuit design and simulation, mentoring engineers, coordinating cross-functional delivery, and representing ADI in external technical forums.

Experience Level

Senior-level; the posting requests an experienced principal engineer (typically 15+ years of relevant industry experience).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include design leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and technical innovation.

• Perform advanced block- and transistor-level analog and mixed-signal design, simulation, evaluation, and debugging across process, voltage, and temperature variations.
• Collaborate with product definition, verification, process, test, and application teams to define specifications and features.
• Drive architecture development, IP creation, and novel circuit methodologies; contribute to patent generation.
• Lead complex mixed-signal projects and influence product roadmaps without formal management responsibility.
• Provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers to establish robust design practices.
• Manage external technical engagement including publications, conference presentations, and university relationships to build talent pipelines.
• Partner with business leaders to align technology direction with market needs.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and professional attributes.

• Advanced analog circuit design expertise (amplifiers, filters, data converters) with proven ability to solve complex design challenges independently.
• Advanced mixed-signal IC design knowledge, including ADC/DAC techniques and system-level integration.
• Proficiency with simulation and modeling tools such as SPICE, Cadence Virtuoso, and Calibre; ability to develop custom simulation methodologies.
• Strong understanding of IC layout considerations and experience guiding layout optimization for performance.
• Excellent technical communication and persuasive presentation skills for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated technical leadership: running design reviews, driving initiatives, and mentoring across multiple projects.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10%.

Education Requirements

Preferred: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field and at least 15 years of relevant industry experience. Strong record of innovation (patents, conference presentations, publications) is preferred.
