Senior Analog IC Design Engineer

Senior Analog IC Design Engineer – Semiconductor – Edinburgh, Scotland (Hybrid)

An established semiconductor company is seeking a Senior Analog IC Design Engineer to join its growing IC design team. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation low-power analog and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, taking designs from concept through to silicon within a collaborative and technically driven environment.

• Design and develop high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs from specification and architecture through transistor-level implementation, verification and production.
• Design and optimise low-power CMOS analog circuits for advanced semiconductor applications.
• Perform system-level modelling and analysis using tools such as MATLAB, Simulink and Spectre.
• Carry out transistor-level circuit design, simulation and optimisation to achieve demanding performance, power and area targets.
• Work closely with layout engineers to support floor planning, layout implementation and post-layout verification.
• Perform post-layout simulations and drive design improvements to ensure robust silicon performance.
• Support silicon bring-up, laboratory validation, characterisation and debugging activities.

• Degree (BSc, MEng, MSc or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
• Proven experience in analog CMOS IC design within the semiconductor industry.
• Strong understanding of analog IC design methodologies, including architecture definition, transistor-level circuit design and chip integration.
• Experience designing low-power, high-performance analog circuits in advanced CMOS technologies.
• Knowledge of power management circuit design, including inductive and/or capacitive power converters.
• Understanding of control theory and its application to analog circuit design.
• Experience using industry-standard simulation and modelling tools such as Cadence Spectre, MATLAB, Simulink or LTspice.
• Hands-on laboratory experience supporting silicon validation, characterisation and debug.
