Mixed-Signal Hardware Design Engineer

About This Role

Analog Devices (ADI) is hiring a Mixed-Signal Hardware Design Engineer to develop precision data converters, signal conditioning ICs, and sensor interfaces for industrial, automotive, and healthcare markets. You will design circuits where accuracy, noise, and linearity are measured in parts per million — pushing analog design to its fundamental physical limits.

Job Overview

• Job Title: Mixed-Signal Hardware Design Engineer
• Company: Analog Devices
• Location: Wilmington, MA / San Jose, CA / Beaverton, OR / Durham, NC / Rochester, NY
• Job Type: Full-time
• Experience Level: Entry to Mid-level (0–3 years)
• Salary Range: $40–$56/hr
• Posted Date: 2026-06-07
• Application Deadline: 2026-07-07

Role Context

ADI's mixed-signal teams design sigma-delta and SAR ADCs, precision DACs, and integrated sensor front-ends used in industrial automation, medical instrumentation, and automotive battery management. Design teams are small — 4–8 engineers per product — and engineers typically own a product from circuit-level design through datasheet publication and application support. ADI's Wilmington fab gives designers rapid silicon turnaround compared to fabless competitors.

Key Responsibilities

• Design mixed-signal IC building blocks including amplifiers, comparators, and switched-capacitor circuits
• Simulate circuit performance using Cadence Spectre across PVT and statistical corners
• Develop bench characterization setups and measure ADC/DAC specifications (SNR, THD, ENOB)
• Write device datasheets and application notes for published products
• Work with layout engineers on parasitic-critical analog floor plans
• Provide application support to customers integrating ADI products in high-performance systems

Requirements & Skills

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering with analog or mixed-signal circuit focus
• Circuit design background in op-amps, feedback theory, noise analysis
• SPICE simulation experience (Cadence Spectre, LTspice, or similar)
• Lab skills for precision measurement of low-noise, high-accuracy circuits
• Familiarity with ADC/DAC architectures (sigma-delta, SAR, pipeline) is a plus
• Strong mathematical ability in continuous-time signal analysis

Benefits & Work Conditions

• $40–$56/hr with ADI equity awards and annual bonus
• Hybrid schedule with flexible remote days
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Graduate degree tuition sponsorship and patent awards
• 401(k) with ADI match and employee stock purchase plan

Who Should Apply

Analog and mixed-signal engineers who want to own complete IC products and work at the precision limits of semiconductor design. ADI's focus on high-performance measurement and conversion products means you will develop deep expertise in areas of analog design that remain genuinely scarce skills in the industry.

About the Company

Analog Devices is one of the world's largest analog and mixed-signal semiconductor companies, with over 125,000 products used in industrial, automotive, communications, and healthcare systems. Its acquisition of Maxim Integrated in 2021 made it the second-largest analog IC company by revenue, behind only Texas Instruments.
