Job Overview

Analog Devices is seeking a Director of Mixed Signal IC Design for the Consumer Audio Solutions (CAS) Business Unit, with the primary role of leading a talented team of engineers. The Mixed Signal team is part of the CAS Design group who research, analyze, design, and simulate world-class integrated circuits. These integrated circuits enable high-volume, high-visibility devices from market leaders who require premium audio to differentiate their products to the end consumer.

As a member of the CAS leadership team, you will not only manage the mixed signal design team but also help define and drive the roadmap across a wide breadth of devices. The ubiquity of connected devices as well as the form factor reduction in audio peripherals is pushing the boundaries of existing solutions, calling for novel approaches. Products range from highly integrated DSP codecs, in advanced mixed-signal process nodes, to devices like Smart Class D amplifiers at ever increasing output power levels.

The successful candidate will join a team with a rich history of producing breakthrough innovative architectures for Class-D amplifiers and delta-sigma DAC's and ADC's, to name a few. The successful candidate must have a track record of leading successfully teams and a background of solving complex challenges.
