Senior / Staff Analog Design Engineer

Cirrus Logic is seeking a talented Senior/Staff Analog Design Engineer with proven experience, strong motivation, and an innovative mindset to help drive our audio and power management products. In this role, you will join a collaborative team focused on developing high-performance mixed-signal integrated circuits. You will be responsible for designing low-power, high-performance ICs in advanced CMOS processes, enabling transformational innovation across new applications and markets.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop advanced mixed-signal solutions from specification through architecture, design, integration, and production.
Perform system-level modeling and analysis using tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Spectre.
Design and implement high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits at the transistor level.
Lead design integration, ensuring robust interaction across system- and block-level implementations.
Oversee layout implementation in close collaboration with layout engineers.
Perform post-layout simulations and drive optimization for performance, area, and power.
Conduct hands-on silicon validation, lab evaluation, and debug to enable successful bring-up and learning.
Support post-silicon activities, including validation, characterization, and production testing.
Drive continuous improvement by benchmarking against competing solutions and considering commercial constraints.
Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure successful product delivery from concept through mass production.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or equivalent), with proven relevant industry experience.
Strong understanding of analog design flows, including architecture definition, circuit design, and chip integration.
Proven expertise in CMOS analog and mixed-signal circuit design, particularly for low-power, high-performance applications.
Solid knowledge of control theory as applied to circuit and system design.
Strong understanding of inductive and/or capacitive power converters.
Proficiency with high-level modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and LTspice (or similar).
Experience designing across multiple CMOS processes, including advanced technology nodes.
Good understanding of reliability considerations, device physics, parasitics, and ESD/latch-up protection.
Practical lab experience, including silicon bring-up, testing, and debugging using standard measurement equipment.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured and detail-oriented approach.
Excellent verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a dynamic, cross-functional environment.
