Principal Mixed-Signal Design Engineer
About the position
The Principal Mixed-Signal Design Engineer will take a leadership role in converter development within Analog Devices’ Advanced Cores Group (ACG). ACG develops high-speed data converters and related technologies, including RF DACs, ADCs, and SerDes PHYs in advanced FinFET process technologies for integration into sophisticated system-on-chip products. These technologies serve applications including automotive, aerospace and defense, communications, and instrumentation. The role involves leading circuit development and architecture selection, designing challenging transistor-level circuits, preparing design documentation and conducting design reviews, guiding layout, evaluation, and test engineering teams, and mentoring other design engineers. Success calls for strong problem-solving ability, self-motivation, and the ability to motivate others. The position follows a hybrid work model; home and in-office opportunities vary depending on job function and group. The stated expected wage range for a new hire is \$157,080 to \$227,460. Actual compensation may vary based on factors including work location, experience, education, training, market data, and pay equity. The position also qualifies for a discretionary performance-based bonus.
