Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer
Location: Edinburgh, UK (Hybrid: 2+ days in-office) Contract Type: Permanent
About the Role
Cirrus Logic, a market leader in mixed-signal processing, seeks a talented Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer to drive innovation in audio and power management products. As part of a collaborative team, you will design high-performance, low-power integrated circuits (ICs) in advanced CMOS processes, pushing boundaries in next-generation applications and markets.
For over four decades, Cirrus Logic has thrived on solving complex engineering challenges by cultivating an inclusive, award-winning culture. Join our team and contribute to a dynamic environment where diversity and innovation are central to success.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop end-to-end mixed-signal solutions, from specification to architecture, design, integration, and production testing.
- Perform system-level modelling and analysis using MATLAB, Simulink, and Spectre; translate technical requirements into actionable design goals.
- Design and implement high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits at the transistor level, ensuring performance, robustness, and energy efficiency.
- Lead design integration, ensuring seamless collaboration between system- and block-level teams while maintaining design cohesion.
- Direct layout implementation in partnership with layout engineers, optimising for delay, power, and area constraints.
- Conduct post-layout simulations and iteratively optimise for performance, power consumption, and silicon yield.
- Perform hands-on silicon validation, including:
- Debugging prototyping circuits
- Conducting lab-based testing
- Driving prototype bring-up and evaluation
- Support post-silicon activities, including:
- Validation and characterisation of production-ready ICs
- Production testing and troubleshooting
- Benchmark current solutions against market competitors, aligning designs with commercial and reliability constraints.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with teams in engineering, reliability, R&D, and marketing to ensure timely product delivery from concept to mass production.
