About the Role
As a Staff Analog Design Engineer in ADI's Shanghai design center, you will design precision analog building blocks that set the accuracy and stability limits in the signal chain of ADI's products. Your work on references, amplifiers, bias networks, comparators, oscillators, and temperature sensors will directly determine offset, drift, and noise floors across products serving multiple application areas. This role involves close collaboration with global design teams across multiple time zones to advance precision analog capabilities on ADI's next-generation process technologies.
- Design and implement precision analog circuit blocks at the transistor level, including operational amplifiers, OTAs, voltage and current references, bandgaps, bias generators, comparators, oscillators, and temperature sensors
- Apply AI/ML techniques to enhance design automation, optimization, and modeling workflows
- Execute designs from schematic capture through simulation, layout oversight, and post-layout verification
- Perform matching analysis, noise budgeting, and systematic offset reduction to meet precision specifications across process corners and temperature
- Develop trimming and calibration strategies — including digitally enhanced techniques that leverage on-chip digital resources in advanced process nodes — to achieve target accuracy for references, amplifiers, and sensors over life and environment
- Support silicon bring-up, debug, and correlation of measured results against simulation predictions
- Collaborate with design teams on architecture trade-offs where precision metrics — offset, gain error, drift, PSRR, CMRR — compete against power, area, and bandwidth
Required Skills and Experience
- MSEE with 7+ years of analog IC design experience, or PhD with 5+ years (BSEE with equivalent depth considered)
- Strong transistor-level design skills for high-performance precision analog circuits
- Demonstrated ability to deliver designs through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release
- Solid understanding of CMOS and BCD process technologies, including device physics, matching, and layout-dependent effects
- Proficiency with Cadence IC design suite: Virtuoso, Spectre/APS, and AMS Designer
- Deep knowledge of noise analysis, offset trimming, and precision design techniques for references and amplifiers
- Fluent in Mandarin; strong English written and verbal communication skills for cross-site collaboration
- Ability to collaborate effectively across global, cross-functional teams
- Curiosity and initiative to explore AI/ML techniques and emerging tools that can transform design workflows, with an enthusiasm for discovering more effective ways of working
- Experience with advanced process nodes and high-voltage or low-power design techniques
- Familiarity with temperature compensation methods, curvature correction, and precision calibration architectures
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
- Block-level and subsystem-level analog circuit ownership from specification through silicon bring-up
- Precision performance optimization including offset, drift, noise, PSRR, and CMRR across temperature and supply variations
- Reliability assessment including electromigration, hot-carrier injection, and NBTI effects
- Design-for-manufacturing and yield optimization through Monte Carlo analysis and statistical design centering
- Work closely with global design teams across multiple time zones to translate system-level accuracy and stability requirements into analog block specifications
- Contribute to design reviews and cross-team technical discussions
- Support evaluation of new process capabilities and identify opportunities for circuit improvement
