Job summary

Analog Devices, Inc. in San Jose, CA is seeking a Staff Systems Design Engineer to drive next-generation mixed-signal IC products from concept through production silicon, collaborating across analog, digital, firmware, and system architecture.

You will provide technical leadership on critical projects, work with cross-functional teams, and guide layout decisions to ensure successful product delivery. Experience with AI-assisted design and lab bring-up is valued.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of IC design experience spanning analog, digital, or mixed-signal.
• Demonstrated ability to work across disciplines — analog circuit design, digital RTL/synthesis, mixed-signal integration, and system-level architecture.
• Proven track record of successful IC tape-outs and silicon validation.
• Experience delivering designs from concept through layout to production.
• Experience with power management, sensor interfaces, and data converters.
• Proficiency in industry EDA tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/ADE, digital synthesis and place-and-route flows.
• Strong understanding of CMOS process technology from mature nodes (180nm) through advanced nodes, including electromigration, aging, and technology limitations.
• Deep understanding of IC layout considerations, including parasitics, matching, and performance optimization.
• Silicon bring-up and lab debug experience — bench with scopes, analyzers, evaluation boards.
• Experience applying AI/ML tools to IC design workflows — agentic AI, LLM-assisted code generation, automated verification, or AI-driven design exploration (preferred).
• Firmware and embedded development experience (C/C++, Python) preferred.
• SystemVerilog and UVM verification experience preferred.

Responsibilities

• Drive next-generation mixed-signal IC products from concept through production silicon.
• Provide technical leadership on critical projects across analog, digital, firmware, and system architecture.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure on-time product delivery.
• Guide layout decisions and lab bring-up to validate silicon against design intent.
