A Day in the Life of a Staff Analog IC Engineer in Limerick
Imagine starting your day in Limerick's vibrant tech ecosystem, commuting to Analog Devices' state-of-the-art facility overlooking the River Shannon. By 9 AM, you're diving into SPICE simulations for a precision current-sense amplifier subsystem, optimizing for low offset and noise in a 0.18um BiCMOS process. Mid-morning, you collaborate via Teams with digital designers in Massachusetts on SoC integration, refining DFT strategies to ensure testability.
Lunch brings team discussions in the canteen, sharing insights on high-voltage isolation techniques. Afternoon shifts to transistor-level design reviews, scripting Python automations for Monte Carlo analysis on latch-up robustness. As silicon from Taiwan arrives, you lead bring-up in the lab, correlating ATE data with Cadence Virtuoso models. By 5 PM, you're documenting methodology improvements for the group wiki, perhaps joining a virtual stand-up with firmware engineers. Evenings might involve prototyping on bench equipment or exploring Limerick's historic King's Island. This rhythm blends deep technical dives with cross-functional synergy, all in Ireland's innovation capital.
