Overview

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 electronics. The role involves experience with detailed transistor level design and potential development into project and sub-system leadership within a highly collaborative team, 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, and design integration through to production, with 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
• 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
