Principal Mixed Signal Design Engineer - AZ, Chandler, East Elliot, United States
Originally posted 23 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves leading the development of advanced power management and mixed-signal integrated circuits from concept through production, with a focus on architecture, design, verification, silicon validation, and production release.
What you'll do
- Lead architecture, design, implementation, and validation of complex mixed-signal and power management ICs.
- Design transistor-level analog circuits including DC/DC converters, LDOs, Bandgaps, References, Current sensing circuits, Data converters, and Interface circuitry.
- Develop system and circuit architectures that optimize performance, area, power, cost, and schedule.
- Drive projects from concept through tapeout, characterization, qualification, and production release.
- Perform simulation and verification using Cadence and SPICE-based tools.
- Analyze silicon results, root-cause issues, and drive corrective actions.
What you'll need
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering.
- 15+ years of analog or mixed-signal IC design experience.
- Strong understanding of CMOS analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
- Experience designing power management ICs, DC/DC converters, LDOs, references, comparators, and related analog circuits.
- Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso and SPICE simulation tools.
- Strong debugging and silicon bring-up skills.
Nice to have
- Experience with automotive or industrial semiconductor development.
- Experience leading large mixed-signal product developments.
- Knowledge of AMS verification methodologies.
- Experience with customer-facing technical discussions.
- Track record of successful production releases.
Skills: mixed-signal IC design, power management ICs, DC/DC converters, Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE simulation
