Staff Engineer, Mixed Signal Design Engineering
Analog DevicesJob Title
Staff Engineer, Mixed Signal Design Engineering
Role Summary
Provide technical leadership for the architecture, design, verification, and laboratory validation of complex mixed-signal integrated circuits (power management ICs, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and mixed-signal blocks). Collaborate with cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers to deliver production-quality semiconductor products.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 7+ years of relevant mixed-signal design experience; 5+ years acceptable with a PhD.
Responsibilities
Accountabilities for this role include end-to-end technical ownership, system-level tradeoffs, and driving design methodology improvements.
- Define architecture and lead design of complex mixed-signal ICs from concept through production release.
- Make system-level tradeoffs (performance, power, area) across analog and digital boundaries.
- Drive integration of analog and digital IP, ensuring robust performance across operating conditions.
- Develop verification strategies and lead advanced lab testing and characterization.
- Provide technical guidance and mentor less experienced engineers.
- Advise physical implementation teams to meet performance and layout constraints.
- Lead complex projects with significant business impact and influence cross-functional technical decisions.
- Contribute to new methods and continuous improvement of mixed-signal design methodologies.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills, tools, and working conditions.
- Expertise in mixed-signal circuit design (power management, ADCs, DACs, PLLs) and system-level integration.
- Strong strategic design and performance-optimization skills (noise, timing, power).
- Experience developing comprehensive verification strategies for mixed-signal systems.
- Proficiency with industry-standard EDA and simulation tools, including SPICE, MATLAB, and Cadence Design Suite.
- Advanced simulation and modeling techniques for predicting circuit behavior across conditions.
- Proven ability to drive technical decisions and influence teams without direct authority.
- Record of design innovation and establishing best practices in mixed-signal design.
- Required travel: up to 10% of the time. Shift: 1st Shift/Days.
Education Requirements
Preferred: MSEE with 7–10 years of relevant mixed-signal design experience, or PhD with 5+ years of relevant experience.
