Overview

Analog Devices stands at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, bridging the physical and digital worlds to power breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge. With over $9 billion in FY24 revenue and 24,000 global employees, we're enabling digitized factories, advanced mobility solutions, digital healthcare revolutions, climate change mitigation technologies, and seamless human-world connectivity. In Chapel Hills, Colorado, our Principal Mixed-Signal/Analog Design Engineer role offers a pivotal opportunity to shape high-performance ICs for ATE power management markets.

This senior position demands expertise in designing mixed-signal ICs featuring companion DC/DC converters. You'll lead full-cycle product development—from architecture evaluation to production release—focusing on highly linear amplifiers, bias blocks, switches, DFX, digital I/O, LDOs, ADCs, and DACs. Chapel Hills' strategic location in Colorado Springs provides an ideal backdrop for innovation, combining cutting-edge tech with natural beauty. Join us to stay Ahead of What's Possible™.

As a Principal Engineer, you'll architect optimal system implementations, perform transistor-level designs, supervise layouts, debug in the lab, and mentor teams. With Cadence tools mastery and deep CMOS physics knowledge, you'll drive products that redefine ATE efficiency. This role requires 10+ years of experience, MSEE, and proven market success. Preferred skills include behavioral modeling, high-voltage design, and multi-die SIP expertise.

Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day in Chapel Hills with Pikes Peak views, sipping coffee while reviewing simulation results from overnight Cadence Virtuoso runs. By 9 AM, you're diving into system-level analysis for a new ATE power IC, optimizing LDO stability margins and ADC linearity. Mid-morning, collaborate with digital teams on block integration, synthesizing state machines for control logic.

Lunch brings cross-functional syncs—perhaps brainstorming with layout engineers on parasitic mitigation. Afternoon: transistor-level design of high-linearity amplifiers, followed by post-layout extractions verifying high-frequency performance. End with lab debug, characterizing a prototype DAC under temperature sweeps, then mentoring juniors on DFX best practices. Evenings? Unwind with Colorado trails, knowing your work powers global innovation. Expect 10% travel for reviews, all on 1st shift for optimal work-life balance.
