Staff Analog Design Engineer, Mixed-Signal Design

Job Title

Staff Analog Design Engineer, Mixed-Signal Design

Role Summary

Design transistor-level precision analog building blocks—references, amplifiers, bias networks, comparators, oscillators, and temperature sensors—for ADI's products in the Shanghai design center. Collaborate with global design teams to deliver high-accuracy, low-noise signal-chain components through tape-out and production.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 7+ years of analog IC design experience (see Education Requirements for degree guidance).

Responsibilities

Primary duties include circuit design, verification, and silicon bring-up.

• Design and implement transistor-level precision analog circuits: op-amps, OTAs, references, bandgaps, bias generators, comparators, oscillators, temperature sensors.
• Execute schematic capture, simulation, layout oversight, and post-layout verification; support tape-out and production release.
• Perform matching analysis, noise budgeting, offset reduction, and design-for-manufacturing using Monte Carlo and statistical methods.
• Develop trimming, calibration, and digitally enhanced techniques to meet accuracy targets across process, voltage, temperature, and lifetime.
• Support silicon bring-up, debug, and correlate measurements to simulations.
• Collaborate with system and architecture teams on trade-offs between precision, power, area, and bandwidth.
• Apply or evaluate AI/ML tools to improve design automation, optimization, and modeling workflows.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, tools, and abilities.

• Strong transistor-level design skills for high-performance precision analog circuits.
• Proven track record delivering designs through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release.
• Solid understanding of CMOS and BCD device physics, matching, and layout-dependent effects.
• Proficiency with Cadence tools: Virtuoso, Spectre/APS, and AMS Designer.
• Deep knowledge of noise analysis, offset trimming, PSRR, CMRR, and precision design techniques.
• Fluent in Mandarin; strong written and verbal English for cross-site collaboration.
• Ability to work effectively across global, cross-functional teams; willingness to travel ~10%.
• Preferred (nice-to-have): experience with advanced process nodes, high-voltage or low-power design, temperature compensation, curvature correction, and familiarity with AI/ML techniques applied to design workflows.

Education Requirements

M.S. in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) with 7+ years of analog IC design experience, or Ph.D. with 5+ years; BSEE with equivalent practical experience considered. Fields: analog/analog IC design, electrical engineering, or closely related technical disciplines. Equivalent industry experience accepted.
