Senior Principal Analog / Mixed-Signal Design Engineer - Ireland
Originally posted 2 June 2026 by the employer — open 100 days.
About the role
As a Senior Principal Analog / Mixed-Signal Design Engineer, you will serve as a technical authority in the design and development of sophisticated mixed-signal integrated circuits. This role involves making critical technical tradeoffs across analog and digital domains and devising innovative solutions to complex problems.
What you'll do
- Perform advanced block and transistor-level design, simulation, evaluation, and debugging for optimal performance.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define specifications and features.
- Drive architecture development and innovation for new circuit designs and methodologies, contributing to IP development.
- Lead complex mixed-signal projects, directing work of engineering teams without formal management responsibility.
- Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior design engineers.
- Drive external technical leadership through publications and engagement with the engineering community.
What you'll need
- Extensive knowledge of analog circuits including amplifiers, filters, and data converters.
- Advanced understanding of mixed-signal integration, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion techniques, and system-level integration.
- Advanced proficiency with simulation modeling tools (SPICE, Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre) and ability to develop custom simulation methodologies.
- Deep understanding of physical IC layout considerations and experience optimizing layouts for performance.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives and drive design reviews.
Nice to have
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with at least 15 years of relevant industry experience.
- Strong record of accomplishment and innovation (e.g., leadership of commercially successful development efforts, patents, presentations at leading conferences, publications in leading journals).
