As a Staff Analog & Mixed-Signal Design Engineer, you'll lead the charge in designing high-performance, power-delivery, and measurement Integrated Circuits (ICs). This role demands a blend of deep technical expertise, innovative problem-solving, and collaborative spirit. Based primarily in Colorado Springs, Colorado, you'll join a world-class team that's consistently delivered the market's most advanced, highly integrated ATE solutions. If you thrive on solving complex challenges in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies, this position offers unparalleled opportunities to shape the future of semiconductor testing.

Colorado Springs, with its stunning backdrop of Pikes Peak and thriving tech ecosystem, provides the perfect environment for cutting-edge engineering. Our Chapel Hills facility is equipped with state-of-the-art labs, fostering creativity and rapid prototyping. Expect to engage in everything from architectural definition to lab characterization, ensuring your designs power the next generation of computational ICs used globally in production testing.

A Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the crisp mountain air fueling your focus. You arrive at our modern Chapel Hills facility, grab a coffee from the on-site café, and dive into your workstation equipped with the latest Cadence tools and high-performance simulation rigs. Your morning involves leading an architecture review for a new mixed-signal IC targeting high-bandwidth memory testing—discussing power optimization trade-offs with digital design leads and verifying SPICE simulations that hit sub-1mV noise floors.

By mid-morning, you're collaborating via video with Wilmington, Massachusetts counterparts, aligning on system-level integration requirements. Lunch brings team brainstorming over fresh Colorado salads, where ideas for innovative LDO topologies spark lively debate. Post-lunch, you mentor a junior engineer on post-layout extraction, guiding them through parasitic-aware simulations in MATLAB. Afternoon lab time sees you characterizing a prototype ADC, tweaking biasing for precision measurement under real ATE conditions.

As the day winds down, you document design margins for production release, coordinate with test engineering on characterization plans, and wrap up with a quick stand-up on project timelines. With 10% travel—perhaps to customer sites or conferences—you occasionally jet off to showcase your team's breakthroughs. This rhythm in Colorado Springs blends deep technical dives, mentorship, and cross-functional impact, all against the Rocky Mountain skyline.
