Senior SoC Analog Engineer

Job Title

Senior SoC Analog Engineer

Role Summary

Design and deliver analog subsystems for next-generation secure System-on-Chip products. You will define analog architecture and requirements, lead circuit design through GDS, and work across teams (physical design, verification, software, security) to bring silicon to production.

This is a hybrid role based in SECQAI offices in London or Bristol, with occasional customer travel.

Experience Level

Senior — the role expects significant senior experience (see Requirements for details). 9+ years of relevant analog design and implementation in advanced technology nodes is stated.

Responsibilities

Accountable for analog architecture, circuit design, and silicon delivery across the full flow.

• Define analog SoC requirements from system and stakeholder inputs and propose architectures.
• Lead circuit design from schematic through layout to GDS and support post-silicon validation.
• Drive research and trade-off analysis on cost, performance, power and software usability.
• Integrate and collaborate with third-party IP providers and adapt IP for custom designs.
• Work with physical design, DFT, verification, software and security teams to optimise implementations.
• Contribute to roadmap planning, design reviews, and silicon bring-up activities.
• Produce and review detailed technical documentation for designs and qualification.
• Occasional travel to engage with customers and partners as required.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, leadership and working style.

• 9+ years of hands-on analog design and implementation in advanced process nodes.
• Proficient with industry EDA tools across the design flow (e.g. Cadence, Synopsys).
• Experience leading engineering teams and coordinating cross-functional stakeholders.
• Track record taking designs through to tape-out and supporting silicon bring-up.
• Strong problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills; attention to engineering quality.

Desirable:

• Experience with RISC-V and CHERI ISAs.
• Experience collaborating on integrated photonics designs.
• Functional safety and security engineering knowledge and familiarity with relevant security standards.

Education Requirements

B.Eng., M.Eng. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent industry/practical experience.
