Senior - Staff Analog Design Engineer - PC

Cirrus Logic is seeking a talented Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer with proven experience, strong motivation, and an innovative mindset to help drive our audio and power management products. In this role, you will join a collaborative team focused on developing high-performance mixed-signal integrated circuits. You will be responsible for designing low-power, high-performance ICs in advanced CMOS processes, enabling transformational innovation across new applications and markets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop advanced mixed-signal solutions from specification through architecture, design, integration, and production.
• Perform system-level modeling and analysis using tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Spectre.
• Design and implement high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits at the transistor level.
• Lead design integration, ensuring robust interaction across system- and block-level implementations.
• Oversee layout implementation in close collaboration with layout engineers.
• Perform post-layout simulations and drive optimization for performance, area, and power.
• Conduct hands-on silicon validation, lab evaluation, and debug to enable successful bring-up and learning.
• Support post-silicon activities, including validation, characterization, and production testing.
• Drive continuous improvement by benchmarking against competing solutions and considering commercial constraints.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure successful product delivery from concept through mass production.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or equivalent), with proven relevant industry experience.
• Strong understanding of analog design flows, including architecture definition, circuit design, and chip integration.
• Proven expertise in CMOS analog and mixed-signal circuit design, particularly for low-power, high-performance applications.
• Solid knowledge of control theory as applied to circuit and system design.
• Strong understanding of inductive and/or capacitive power converters.
• Proficiency with high-level modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and LTspice (or similar).
• Experience designing across multiple CMOS processes, including advanced technology nodes.
• Good understanding of reliability considerations, device physics, parasitics, and ESD/latch-up protection.
• Practical lab experience, including silicon bring-up, testing, and debugging using standard measurement equipment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured and detail-oriented approach.
• Excellent verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a dynamic, cross-functional environment.
