Staff Mixed Signal IC Designer

ADI - Analog Devices

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Job Description:

Analog Devices is seeking an experienced Staff Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer with proven experience in low power analog and mixed signal design. This role offers the opportunity to work on high performance consumer audio products within a collaborative, diverse, and knowledge-sharing environment. It is an ideal position to perfect design skills and work within the design team to influence architecture decisions at the system level.

As a key member of the PES Audio team, you will be designing the next generation of high-performance audio solutions defining the way devices are operated, the way music is enjoyed, and the way people connect to each other. These integrated circuits enable high-volume, high-visibility products for market-leading customers who depend on best-in-class audio performance to differentiate their offerings. The rapid proliferation of connected devices, combined with aggressive form-factor reduction in audio peripherals, continues to push the boundaries of existing solutions - driving the need for innovative architectures and novel system-level trade-offs and circuit-level design innovations.

Responsibilities:

Lead architecture definition of analog and mixed signal functionality
Work with the analog team to execute designs from abstract level down to transistor level
Provide guidance and instructions for layout implementation, bench evaluation and production test to ensure successful delivery of the design
Actively participate in bench evaluation with support from evaluation team
Communicate effectively design choices, performance and progress
Provide mentorship and technical leadership for junior engineers

Requirements:

Electronic Engineering/Computer Engineering degree with 5+ years of progressive experience in architecting and designing analog and mixed signal circuits
Hands on experience on low power designs at transistor level
Proficient with Spectre simulation tools or equivalent and behavioral/system-level modeling tools
Good understanding of semiconductor device physics
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively within multi-site, cross-functional engineering teams
