Staff Analog IC Design Engineer (ADC)

Qualcomm's PMIC team is seeking an experienced Analog IC Design Engineer to develop high-performance, low-power ADCs and precision analog circuits for next-generation mobile, XR, wearable, and computing platforms.

As a senior technical contributor, you will drive architecture, design, verification, silicon bring-up, and production support of mixed-signal IP integrated into industry-leading power management solutions.

Responsibilities

• Define ADC and analog subsystem specifications and architectures.
• Design and verify ADCs and key analog building blocks, including comparators, amplifiers, references, DACs, oscillators, and clocking circuits.
• Perform transistor-level design and verification across PVT and Monte Carlo conditions.
• Develop behavioral models and support mixed-signal verification.
• Work closely with layout, digital, test, product, and applications teams.
• Lead silicon bring-up, characterization, debug, and correlation to simulation.
• Drive design reviews, technical innovation, and mentoring of junior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications

• MSEE with 8+ years or PhD with 5+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.
• Proven track record of delivering ADCs or precision analog IP to silicon.
• Strong knowledge of ADC architectures (SAR, Delta-Sigma, Pipeline, or Hybrid).
• Experience with transistor-level design, noise/mismatch analysis, and analog layout considerations.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and AMS simulation tools.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMIC, power management, battery management, or sensor-interface experience.
• Ultra-low-power design expertise.
• Experience with digital calibration techniques.
• Silicon validation and lab characterization experience.
• Technical leadership and mentoring experience.
