We are looking for a Staff Analog Design Engineer to join our team in Zürich, working on next-generation mixed-signal ICs for wireless power and power management (PMIC) applications.
In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of major analog IPs and contribute at both architecture and implementation level, from concept definition through mass production silicon.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the definition, design, and ownership of complex analog and mixed-signal IPs, such as:
PMIC building blocks (LDOs, references, regulators, amplifiers)
Wireless power-related analog IPs
High-performance ADC/DAC interfaces and analog front-ends
Contribute to system-level and architecture definition in close collaboration with digital, firmware, and system teams
Perform transistor-level design, simulation, and optimization, including:
PVT, corner, and Monte Carlo analysis
Robustness and reliability considerations
Ensure design robustness and manufacturability across process, voltage, and temperature variations
Support and guide layout activities, including:
Floorplanning of large analog IPs
Matching, shielding, and parasitic-aware design
Post-layout simulation and sign-off
Play an active role in silicon bring-up, validation, debug, and characterization
Contribute to and support test and qualification phases, working closely with test, product, and quality teams
Drive design reviews, technical documentation, and cross-team alignment
Contribute to best practices within the analog design team
Qualifications
PhD with 5+ years of industry experience
or MSc with 8+ years of industry experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design
Strong experience in transistor-level CMOS analog design
Solid understanding of analog design fundamentals (noise, stability, matching, reliability)
Proven experience owning designs from specification through mass production
Familiarity with mixed-signal integration and interaction with digital blocks
Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
Experience with Cadence design environment
Preferred Qualifications
PMIC experience is a strong plus
Experience with wireless power or energy-constrained systems
Knowledge of low-power and high-efficiency analog design techniques
Hands-on experience with silicon validation, lab measurements, and debug
Good understanding of test and qualification requirements for high-volume products
Why Join Us
Work on high-impact products in wireless power and power management
Opportunity to own and shape critical analog IPs
Strong technical team with deep mixed-signal and system-level expertise
Exposure to the full product lifecycle, from definition to mass production
International, collaborative, and innovation-driven environment
