As a Staff Mixed-Signal Design Engineer, you will develop high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks within ADI's integrated circuits. You will execute complex designs from schematic through silicon validation, contributing deep technical expertise to products that serve multiple business units and directly support semiconductor process development alongside the teams building ADI's next-generation technologies.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks at the transistor level, including data conversion, signal conditioning, references, LDOs, and charge pumps
Execute designs from schematic capture through simulation, layout oversight, and post-layout verification
Perform parasitic-aware simulation, layout-dependent effect analysis, and design centering across process corners
Develop and validate behavioral models for mixed-signal subsystems to support system-level simulation
Support silicon bring-up, debug, and correlation of measured results against simulation predictions
Collaborate with design teams on architecture trade-offs across power, area, speed, noise, and linearity
Required Skills and Experience
MSEE with 7+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience, or PhD with 5+ years (BSEE with equivalent depth considered)
Strong transistor-level design skills for high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits
Demonstrated ability to deliver designs through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release
Solid understanding of CMOS and BCD process technologies, including device physics, matching, and layout-dependent effects
Proficiency with Cadence IC design suite: Virtuoso, Spectre/APS, and AMS Designer
Proficiency in digitally-assisted and high-speed analog design techniques
Excellent presentation, technical writing, and communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
Curiosity and initiative to explore AI/ML techniques and emerging tools that can transform design workflows, with an enthusiasm for discovering more effective ways of working
Experience with advanced process nodes and high-voltage or high-speed design techniques
Familiarity with digital interface protocols (I2C, SPI, UART) and mixed-signal SoC integration
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment
Technical Scope
Block-level and subsystem-level mixed-signal circuit ownership from specification through silicon bring-up
Signal integrity analysis, noise budgeting, and performance optimization across analog-digital boundaries
Reliability assessment including electromigration, hot-carrier injection, and NBTI effects
Design-for-manufacturing and yield optimization through Monte Carlo analysis and statistical design centering
Collaboration and Impact
Work with product definition and applications teams to understand customer requirements and translate them into circuit specifications
Contribute to design reviews and cross-team technical discussions
Support evaluation of new process capabilities and identify opportunities for circuit improvement
