ROLE : Senior Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer
LOCATION : Madrid, Spain SALARY : Negotiable DURATION : Permanent An exciting opportunity to join a high-tech R&D team in Madrid, developing advanced analog and mixed-signal ICs in leading-edge CMOS technologies. This role offers the chance to work across the full design flow — from concept and system-level definition through to silicon validation — on innovative products used in next-generation systems.
Key Responsibilities :
- Define and specify analog and mixed-signal blocks, including ADCs, DACs, PLLs, data interfaces, and optoelectronic circuits.
- Take ownership of AMS design from schematic to full verification in sub-nanometric CMOS processes (65nm / 28nm and below).
- Establish layout guidelines, collaborate closely with layout engineers, and review their work to ensure design integrity.
- Partner with test engineers on defining and executing test plans, analyzing lab results, and correlating with simulations.
- Work alongside system-level engineers to create behavioural models of AMS blocks for system simulations and mixed-signal verification.
- Support the integration of analog subsystems into complex SoCs that include significant digital processing.
- Drive innovation and R&D by exploring new architectures, contributing to future product concepts, and supporting patent activity.
- Document and present design progress and results in internal technical reviews and meetings.
Requirements :
MSc or PhD in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering (or a related discipline).5+ years of experience in analog and mixed-signal IC design.Proven experience delivering silicon-proven designs through all development phases — from definition and design to characterization and productization.Hands-on experience designing full-custom analog IP in sub-nanometric CMOS (65nm / 28nm or below).Proficient with EDA tools such as Cadence or Synopsys for AMS design and verification.Strong understanding of analog layout techniques, including the ability to guide and review layout work.Excellent communication skills in English (both written and verbal).
