Senior Staff Engineer Analog Mixed-Signal Design (f/m/div) - Villach
$43,440 - $59,730 USD yearly
Originally posted 9 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves leading end-to-end ADC design, from architecture definition to silicon bring-up. The position focuses on high-performance converters like SAR, Pipeline, Sigma-Delta, Flash, or hybrid topologies.
What you'll do
- Lead end-to-end ADC design, including architecture definition, circuit implementation, and silicon bring-up.
- Design critical analog/mixed-signal building blocks such as OTAs, comparators, DACs, sample-and-hold circuits, references, and clocking/bias circuits.
- Drive comprehensive pre-silicon verification through transistor-level to chip-level simulations, Monte Carlo, corner, and worst-case analyses.
- Perform post-silicon lab characterization and debug.
- Develop behavioral and architectural models of ADC and mixed-signal blocks using Python and/or MATLAB for system-level simulation.
What you'll need
- M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field.
- 5+ years of industry experience in analog and mixed-signal IC design.
- Proven track record of successful silicon tape-outs and product bring-up.
- Deep expertise in one or more ADC architectures (SAR, Pipeline, Sigma-Delta, Flash, or hybrid topologies).
- Expertise in analog building blocks such as OTAs, comparators, references, LDOs, and switched-capacitor circuits.
- Solid understanding of mixed-signal design including clock distribution, digital calibration, timing closure, and asynchronous logic.
- Proficiency with EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre, ADE XL, HSPICE, or equivalent) and the full custom IC design flow.
- Experience with advanced CMOS process nodes (e.g., 130nm–12nm).
- Skills in Python and/or MATLAB/Simulink for automation, scripting, and system-level modeling.
- Knowledge of digital calibration techniques.
Skills: ADC design, circuit implementation, silicon bring-up, analog/mixed-signal building blocks, pre-silicon verification, post-silicon lab characterization
