System Engineer, DCC-PADC

Job Title

System Engineer, DCC-PADC

Role Summary

Join the Precision Analog-to-Digital Converter (ASC-DCC-PADC) team to translate system-level customer needs into next-generation ADC product definitions. The role drives product specification, system architecture, cross-functional execution, and customer support for high-performance ADC solutions targeting datacenter, automotive, and industrial markets.

Experience Level

Mid-level (typically 5+ years of relevant experience). The posting specifies 5+ years in systems engineering, applications engineering, or analog/mixed-signal IC design.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on system-level product definition, cross-functional execution, and customer engagement for precision ADC products.

• Analyze customer systems and signal chains (sensors, amplifiers, references, ADCs, digital interfaces) to identify technical challenges and opportunities.
• Evaluate end-equipment in datacenter, automotive, and industrial markets to identify trends and differentiate product performance.
• Develop short- and long-term product roadmaps based on market and system-level insights.
• Author detailed product specifications, system block diagrams, and competitive benchmark analyses.
• Assess IC development tradeoffs and negotiate performance, power, area, and cost decisions with design teams and customers.
• Drive execution from concept through release to manufacturing (RTM), ensuring performance targets and schedules are met.
• Act as technical lead during product ramp-up, supporting customers through design-in and volume production.
• Collaborate with marketing and applications to produce technical collateral (application notes, reference designs, datasheets).
• Support sales and field teams to secure design wins through deep technical engagement.

Requirements

Concise list of must-have skills and preferred qualifications. Degree details are summarized separately in Education Requirements below.

• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, applications engineering, or analog/mixed-signal IC design.
• Hands-on experience with analog signal chains, including ADCs, amplifiers, and voltage references.
• Experience developing product roadmaps and translating market/customer insights into product requirements.
• Strong understanding of analog and mixed-signal IC specifications and system-level implications.
• Proven involvement in the product development lifecycle from concept through volume production.
• Ability to engage technically with customers and field teams to drive design wins.

• Expertise in precision ADC architectures (SAR, Delta-Sigma, Pipeline).
• Experience with signal-chain system design: noise budgeting, dynamic range, anti-aliasing, grounding/layout.
• Familiarity with applications such as control systems, power measurement, data acquisition, or ADAS.
• Modeling/simulation skills for signal-chain performance and strong analytical problem-solving ability.
• Proven cross-functional collaboration and strong communication skills.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering is required (as stated in the posting).
