Staff Analog Design Engineer (f/m/d)

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
