About Analog Devices (ADI)
Analog Devices (NASDAQ: ADI) designs and manufactures semiconductor products and solutions. We enable our customers to interpret the world around us by intelligently bridging the physical and digital worlds with unmatched technologies that sense, measure, and connect.
Analog Devices is seeking a senior physical design engineer for its Data Center & Energy (DCE) group. Within DCE, we deliver high-reliability power, connectivity, and analytics solutions for modern data centers and energy infrastructure.
The successful candidate will own and execute the physical implementation of complex mixed-signal SoCs, from floorplanning through signoff. The role spans multiple process nodes—from mature analog processes through advanced deep-submicron FinFET technologies—and involves close collaboration with RTL designers, analog layout teams, and verification engineers to deliver silicon that meets aggressive performance, power, and area targets.
This is a demanding multi-disciplinary position with unique growth potential. The group culture aims to foster a challenging, exciting, and supportive environment. The team members must be comfortable working on a wide variety of products and technologies in a fast-paced and agile environment. Analog Devices rewards performance, innovation, and collaboration.
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.

Responsibilities
- Drive physical implementation from RTL handoff through GDSII signoff, including floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, and timing closure
- Perform and close static timing analysis across PVT corners; resolve timing violations with design and layout teams
- Develop and maintain robust power delivery networks; perform IR-drop and electromigration analysis and drive fixes to closure
- Execute physical verification (DRC, LVS, antenna, ERC) and resolve issues to achieve clean signoff
- Collaborate with analog layout engineers on mixed-signal integration, including floorplan co-optimization and constraint development for sensitive analog/digital boundaries
- Support design-for-test (DFT) insertion, scan chain stitching, and ATPG pattern generation
- Contribute to flow development, methodology improvements, and automation of physical design tasks
- Support silicon bring-up and debug; correlate physical design decisions with lab measurements
Minimum Qualifications
- BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent)
- 4+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC physical design and implementation
- Strong proficiency with Cadence digital implementation tools (Genus, Innovus, Tempus, Conformal, Voltus, Pegasus)
- Solid understanding of static timing analysis, clock domain crossing, and multi-corner multi-mode signoff
- Experience with mature analog process nodes (e.g., 180nm BCD) in addition to advanced digital nodes
- Experience with power analysis (IR-drop, EM) and power intent specification (UPF/CPF)
- Working knowledge of DFT methodologies (scan insertion, compression, ATPG, JTAG/boundary scan)
- Proficiency in scripting for automation and flow development (Tcl, Python, shell)
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Good organization; written and verbal communication skills
