Staff Mixed-Signal Design Engineer
Analog DevicesJob Title
Staff Mixed-Signal Design Engineer
Role Summary
Join a mixed-signal design team in the Advanced Cores Group developing high-speed data converters and related IP for system-on-chip products. The role focuses on transistor-level circuit design, system trade-offs, and coordination with layout, test, and evaluation teams.
Position is hybrid based in Durham, NC.
Experience Level
Senior — typically requires 5+ years of CMOS design experience (the posting specifies 5+ years).
Responsibilities
The core responsibilities include:
- Design transistor-level mixed-signal circuits and implement key block-level circuits within a defined architecture.
- Analyze system-level impacts of block parameters and perform design trade-offs.
- Prepare design documentation and lead/participate in design reviews.
- Collaborate with layout, evaluation, and test engineering to guide implementation and verification.
- Work within a geographically distributed team and communicate technical results effectively.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience (concise):
- 5+ years of CMOS design experience, with proven mixed-signal circuit work.
- Strong understanding of wide-bandwidth amplifiers, comparators, switched-capacitor circuits, precision voltage/current references, and LDOs.
- Experience with Cadence schematic capture and SPICE simulation tools.
- Practical experience using MATLAB for behavioral modeling.
- Good written and verbal communication skills and ability to work in large teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with high-speed data converter or SerDes PHY design.
- Signal processing or calibration-algorithm knowledge related to converter calibration.
Education Requirements
M.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering ("M.S. or beyond in Electrical Engineering" as stated in the posting).
