Staff Engineer, Analog Design Engineering

About the role

Analog Devices is looking for a Staff Analog Design Engineer in Durham to lead the design and development of complex analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The role offers significant latitude to solve challenging technical problems, provides technical leadership on critical projects, contributes to architectural decisions and mentors less experienced engineers while working with cross-functional teams.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop sophisticated analog and mixed-signal ICs, performing block and transistor-level design, simulation, evaluation and debugging across process, voltage and temperature variations (e.g., PLL, high-speed clock distribution, mixers, amplifiers, ADC/DAC, LDO and bias)
• Collaborate with the system/architecture team, layout team, product engineering, test engineers, applications and software team so designs meet performance objectives and business goals
• Mentor junior engineers, review their work and support their professional development
• Contribute to new theories, methods and architectural approaches that solve complex design challenges

Required profile

• Expert-level ability to design and analyze complex analog circuits such as PLL, amplifiers or ADC/DAC, and to lead architectural decisions
• Demonstrated ability to develop circuit architectures that balance performance with practical constraints and business objectives
• Preferred: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field, and 7+ years of relevant analog circuit design experience
• Preferred: design experience in FinFET, lab skills in high-frequency measurement with a spectrum analyzer, and a publication record or patents in analog/mixed-signal design

Required skills

• Advanced simulation modeling and analysis with SPICE, MATLAB and Cadence Design Suite, including statistical validation
• Deep understanding of physical IC layout and experience optimizing layouts for performance
• Comprehensive knowledge of CMOS circuit design principles and implementation techniques

The position is a day shift with no required travel. Export licensing review may be needed for applicants who are not US citizens or permanent residents.
