The Role: The ESD Engineer will drive the development of our I/O library—leading the design, simulation, characterization, and validation of advanced I/O pad structures. You’ll define and implement our chip‑ and IP‑level ESD methodology, ensuring every product meets the highest standards of robustness and reliability. In this role, you’ll design ESD protection devices, create silicon test structures for ESD and latch‑up evaluation, and translate silicon data into optimized design rules. You’ll also collaborate closely with our foundry partners on ESD library updates and LUP rule development. Success requires a holistic understanding of mixed‑signal CMOS ESD/EOS protection, along with the ability to see gaps, integrate methodologies, and strengthen our end‑to‑end protection strategy. This is a high‑impact opportunity to shape product reliability across Cirrus Logic’s entire mixed‑signal portfolio. \n
What You’ll Own & Create Design, simulate, and optimize advanced I/O circuits and ESD protection structures. Characterize and model I/O libraries to support high‑performance mixed‑signal design flows. Release, maintain, and improve I/O libraries and models used across multiple design teams. Apply deep expertise in ESD and latch‑up requirements to ensure robust, reliable silicon. Drive ESD sign‑off for both chip‑level and block‑level designs, ensuring consistent methodology. Act as a technical leader, unifying ESD, latch‑up, and I/O strategies—gaining alignment across business units and elevating best practices company‑wide.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
