Join the Power Systems Group (PSG) Technologist Team, where analog design meets technology leadership and future-defining innovation. This is not a traditional IC design role. You will operate at the intersection of deep analog expertise and system-level vision, driving the exploration and enablement of next-generation (H2/H3) technologies across Power, Supervisors, Functional Safety, and Protection ICs.

As a Staff Engineer, you will:

• Shape architectures that will define future product lines
• Translate system challenges in industrial automation and robotics into silicon innovation
• Bridge early-stage technology exploration to real-world product impact

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture definition and transistor-level design of advanced analog and mixed-signal ICs, with focus on power, supervision, and protection systems
• Explore and prototype emerging H2/H3 technologies, including:
  • Functional Safety-enabled IC architectures
  • Intelligent protection and diagnostics
  • High-reliability, high-performance power solutions
• Translate system-level requirements (robotics, industrial automation, safety systems) into scalable IC architectures
• Drive innovation from concept to enablement, including early silicon, demonstrators, and reference platforms
• Contribute to functional safety architectures, including diagnostic concepts, redundancy strategies, and safety mechanisms
• Mentor engineers and elevate organizational capability in advanced analog design and system thinking
• Own transistor-level design of analog and mixed-signal blocks (e.g., amplifiers, references, ADC/DAC front-ends, bias circuits, oscillators, regulators).
• Lead design reviews, verification reviews, and silicon correlation activities.
• Support layout, test, validation, lab debug, measurement correlation, data review, and documentation for first-silicon bring-up.

Requirements

• BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• Strong experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design (typically 7–10+ years)
• Proven expertise in one or more domains:
  • Power management (LDO, DC-DC, drivers)
  • Supervisor and protection circuits
  • High-voltage or high-reliability IC design
• Deep understanding of:
  • Transistor-level design, simulation, and silicon validation
  • Noise, stability, matching, reliability, and parasitics
• Experience with Cadence design tools (Virtuoso) and lab evaluation
• Strong plus:
  • Experience in Functional Safety (IEC 61508 / ISO 26262)
  • Exposure to industrial, robotics, or automotive systems
  • System-level thinking and ability to bridge architecture - circuit implementation

For positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export  licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the U.S. Department of State - Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.  As such, applicants for this position – except US Citizens, US Permanent Residents, and protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) – may have to go through an export licensing review process.
