Principal Mixed-Signal/Analog Design Engineer

Analog Devices•Wilmington, MA

About The Position

As ADI expands into new products and market segments, the Instrumentation group is looking for a skilled Mixed-Signal/Analog IC Design Engineer based in Colorado Springs, CO who will be responsible for designing high performance mixed-signal ICs with companion DC/DC converters targeted at ATE power management markets. As a Principal Mixed-Signal/Analog Design Engineer, you will perform a full range of product development activities including, but not limited to: Evaluate and Develop Architectures: Create and specify individual circuit blocks. Perform system-level analysis to develop optimal system implementations. Design and Verification: Conduct detailed circuit design, simulations, and verification of Highly Linear Amplifiers, Bias blocks, Switches, DFX, Digital I/O, LDO’s, ADCs and DACs. Oversee analog and mixed-signal circuits ICs from concept through production release. Participate in design optimization for power, performance, and area, and ensure compliance with rigorous quality standards. Additionally, you will provide technical guidance to junior engineers and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to drive innovative solutions and deliver successful products to market. Work with digital design and design verification teams on block and system integration and verification at the chip and system level. Layout Supervision: Supervise layout and conduct post-layout simulations. Documentation and Reviews: Prepare documentation and conduct design reviews. Lab Evaluation and Debug: Perform lab evaluation and debug and provide test development and guidance to test evaluation teams. Cross-Functional Interaction: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and specifications.
