Analog Devices is seeking an experienced Staff Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer with proven experience in clock synthesizers design. This role offers the opportunity to work on high performance consumer audio products within a collaborative, diverse, and knowledge-sharing environment. It is an ideal position to perfect design skills and work within the design team to influence architecture decisions at the system level. As a key member of the PES Audio team, you will be designing the next generation of high-performance audio solutions defining the way devices are operated, the way music is enjoyed, and the way people connect to each other. These integrated circuits enable high-volume, high-visibility products for market-leading customers who depend on best-in-class audio performance to differentiate their offerings. The rapid proliferation of connected devices, combined with aggressive form-factor reduction in audio peripherals, continues to push the boundaries of existing solutions - driving the need for innovative architectures and novel system-level trade-offs and circuit-level design innovations.

Responsibilities:

• Lead architecture definition of clock synthesizers to achieve high performance audio processing.
• Work with the analog team to execute designs from abstract level down to transistor level.
• Provide guidance and instructions for layout implementation, bench evaluation and production test to ensure successful delivery of the design.
• Actively participate in bench evaluation with support from evaluation team.
• Communicate effectively design choices, performance and progress.
• Provide mentorship and technical leadership for junior engineers.

Requirements:

• Electronic Engineering/Computer Engineering degree with 5+ years of progressive experience in architecting and designing clock synthesizers (PLL, FLL, MDLL, ADPLL).
• Experience in clock performance analysis (PSS/Pnoise).
• Hands-on experience on low power design of relevant clock synthesis block such as VCO, loop filter, phase detectors.
• Proficient with Spectre simulation tools or equivalent and behavioral/system-level modeling tools.
• Good understanding of semiconductor device physics.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively within multi-site, cross-functional engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with bench clock analysis tools.
• Good understanding of signal processing such as data-converter and DSP.
• Experience in audio IC design.
• Passion for Audio.

Required Travel: Yes, 10% of the time. Shift Type: 1st Shift/Days.
