Cirrus Logic

Where every open Cirrus Logic role sits against the same discipline at 184 other semiconductor employers we track. Pay and competition.

Figures in this report — open-role counts, medians and the who's-hiring list — are a snapshot as of 10 August 2026 and are not automatically updated.

Since last week

+5 postings first dated by Cirrus Logic in the last seven days, against 2 the week before
Those five: a CAD engineer in Edinburgh, a junior embedded software test engineer in Chandler, and three non-engineering roles in Austin and Edinburgh
Every one of the 120 live Cirrus Logic postings carries a date published by the employer, so these counts are not estimates

A distinct-role count is deliberately absent. Collapsing the same role posted across several locations or under reworded titles requires cross-requisition clustering, which is specified in our notes but not built, and we will not substitute a weaker title-matching estimate for it.

Eleven other employers are hiring digital design in Austin right now, 35 openings against your six. Arm, Qualcomm and Ambiq Micro are the most active. Cirrus Logic publishes no range on this role, so a candidate comparing offers has nothing from you to weigh.

Twenty-three applications openings at seven Austin employers. None of them are audio specialists, so the competition is for the same engineer rather than the same job.

No other tracked employer is hiring analog design in Edinburgh. You are the only bidder in that market, and there is no local posted pay to compare against.

Competing openings are live postings at tracked employers in the same discipline, and for the role cards the same metro. Pay comparisons use only postings where a range is published; three of the 120 live Cirrus Logic postings publish one, so there is no company range to plot and the market band is shown alone. Published-range coverage across the index is concentrated in California, Colorado, New York and Washington, so it varies by location. Discipline counts come from our classification of each posting. Figures are from the live index on 10 August 2026.
