Senior Analog IC Design Engineer – flexible hybrid

Senior Analog IC Design Engineer – Southampton (Hybrid)

Location: Southampton (with hybrid flexibility)

Our scaling semiconductor client is looking for a Senior Analog IC Design Engineer to help shape a revolutionary technology – ultra-low-power optical interconnects for AI systems.

This rare and impactful role sits at the intersection of:

  • High-speed analog design
  • Photonics integration
  • Advanced CMOSdevelopment

You’ll lead the complete IC development lifecycle—from circuit design and verification through tape-out, silicon characterisation, testing, and product commercialisation.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design and optimise analog circuits for a new class of ultra-low-power optical links, ensuring high-speed performance.
  • Take ownership of full IC development, from initial architecture design to tape-out and post-silicon validation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g. photonics and digital design) to refine specifications and drive product success.
  • Work seamlessly in a fast-moving, high-tech environment, balancing creativity with rigorous engineering discipline.

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.
