Analog Design Engineer (DG)

Cirrus Logic is looking for a talented Senior/Staff Analog IC Design Engineer to help drive the next generation of technologies and products to serve new and exciting opportunities in Mixed-Signal IC design for consumer, automotive, health, and power management applications. We have a role for someone with experience in detailed transistor-level design and looking to develop into project and sub-system leadership. As part of a highly collaborative team, you will be responsible for the development of low-power, high-performance ICs in advanced CMOS processes, specified to drive transformational change in new applications and markets.

Responsibilities:

• Ownership and development of advanced solutions for complex mixed-signal products and respective circuitry from concept, architecture, design, design integration through to production with an awareness of competing solutions and commercial pressures.
• Modeling of solutions using tools such as Matlab, Simulink, Spectre, AMS Designer etc.
• Transistor level implementation of the design.
• Design and verification of key analog/mixed-signal building blocks such as A/D and D/A converters, LDOs, DC/DC converters, PLLs, oscillators, op-amps, analog front ends (AFEs) and other precision analog circuits.
• Overseeing layout implementation and performing post-layout simulations and optimization.
• Hands-on lab checkout, silicon learning, and debug.
• Supporting post-silicon activities including product validation, characterization, and production test

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• BSc, MSc, MEng or PhD in Electrical Engineering (or related fields) with proven and relevant professional experience in mixed-signal CMOS circuit design.
• Deep understanding of analog design flows including architecture, design, and design integration.
• Strong skills in CMOS analog design and layout of high precision, low power circuits.
• Hands-on lab test/debug experience with a range of lab equipment.
• Organised and detailed with strong communication skills.
• Possess outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Results-oriented and thrive in a dynamic environment.
• Able to operate effectively in a high-functioning interdependent team.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• Knowledge of discrete-time and continuous-time signal processing (ADC and DAC design).
• Experience of designing low-power/high-performance analog circuits (voltage/current references, oscillators, PLLs, LDOs, DC/DC converters, op-amps, AFEs, etc.).
• Experience in system and behavioral modelling.
• Experience designing for different CMOS processes and aggressive geometry nodes.
• Understanding of reliability concerns.
• Understanding of scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, Python etc.
