A Day in the Life

Your day at Analog Devices in Limerick begins with a collaborative stand-up in the open-plan design lab, overlooking the River Shannon. Coffee in hand, you sync with digital designers, firmware experts, and layout engineers on the latest mixed-signal SoC milestone. Diving into Cadence Virtuoso, you refine a precision current-sense amplifier, running Spectre simulations to verify offset and PSRR specs under process variations.

By mid-morning, you're scripting in Python to automate Monte Carlo analyses, identifying matching sensitivities. Lunch in the bustling canteen sparks ideas with peers from power management teams, discussing VRM sequencing challenges. Post-lunch, you join a silicon debug session, probing AFE blocks on a tester and correlating bench measurements to sims—tweaking a bandgap for better tempco.

Afternoons often involve cross-team integration reviews via Zoom with global colleagues, ensuring AMBA bus interfaces align seamlessly. You contribute to DFT enhancements, perhaps adding scan chains for better test coverage. Wrapping up, you document insights in Confluence, mentor a junior on latch-up mitigation, and plan tomorrow's layout handoff. It's dynamic, intellectually stimulating, blending deep technical dives with teamwork in Limerick's inspiring setting.
