Our client is seeking a highly skilled Senior Analog IC Designer to join our innovative Mixed Signal Chip team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing world-class analog circuits for battery-powered applications, with a focus on Class D amplifier design to drive high-performance transducers used in audio and haptics applications.

In this role, you will be developing solutions that push the boundaries of low-power consumption, high efficiency, and exceptional performance. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including digital designers, system engineers, and product engineers, helping to deliver cutting-edge solutions for the next generation of consumer electronics.

Responsibilities :

  • Analog Circuit Design

Lead the design and development of analog circuits, including

Class D amplifiers , power management, and signal conditioning circuits for driving high-performance transducers in audio and haptic systems.

  • Battery-Powered Systems
  • Optimize circuits for low-power consumption in battery-powered devices, ensuring high efficiency without compromising audio or haptic performance.

  • IC Development
  • Collaborate with mixed-signal and digital design teams to integrate analog blocks into complex SoCs.

  • System-Level Design
  • Work with system architects to define specifications and ensure the analog subsystems meet overall performance requirements, including considerations for EMI / EMC, thermal management, and form factor constraints.

  • Simulation & Validation
  • Conduct extensive simulations (e.g., Cadence, SPICE) and validate designs through laboratory testing using state-of-the-art measurement equipment.

  • Collaboration
  • Interface with cross-functional teams globally to ensure that designs meet customer requirements and are manufacturable at scale.

    Required Qualifications :

  • Expert-level experience in analog IC circuit design , particularly with Class D amplifier topologies and low-power, battery-operated systems.
  • Proven track record in designing analog ICs, including power amplifiers, filters, ADC / DAC interfaces, and power management circuits.
  • Strong understanding of audio and haptic transducer technology and system-level considerations for maximizing performance.
  • Proficiency in simulation tools such as Cadence, Spectre, SPICE, or equivalent.
  • Experience in layout considerations for analog / mixed-signal circuits and working with layout engineers to ensure first-time success in silicon.
  • Hands-on experience with lab measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, audio analyzers, and network analyzers) for characterization and validation of designs.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills to interface effectively with global teams and customers.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with audio systems , especially in relation to optimizing audio signal paths and transducer integration.
  • Knowledge of haptics and tactile feedback technologies , particularly in relation to efficient drive circuitry.
  • Familiarity with EMI / EMC challenges in audio and haptic systems and experience designing for compliance.
  • Previous experience with battery-powered consumer electronics and the associated trade-offs between performance and power efficiency.
