Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

This role is for a Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer at the CHIMES IKC, focused on accelerating Heterogeneous Integration. Key responsibilities include developing reusable design methodologies for PHY-level interfaces and leading the design of analog/mixed-signal components for industry-led co-creation demonstrators. Requirements include authoritative practical knowledge of analog/mixed-signal circuit design and a strong understanding of the semiconductor design and manufacturing ecosystem.

• This Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer role is central to the IKC's mission and has two complementary aspects.
• First, working closely with the wider team, you will help develop reusable design methodologies and assets, becoming the Technical Authority on key technology areas such as PHY-level interfaces, custom pad circuits, and analog/digital interfaces.
• Second, working with the Co-Creation Project Lead and industry partner design teams, you will help develop functioning HI demonstrators, promote the adoption of reusable design methodologies, and resolve design challenges at the analog/mixed-signal interfaces within these systems.
• You will provide hands-on analog/mixed-signal design expertise across co-creation PoC projects, with primary responsibility for PHY-level interface design at die-to-die boundaries, including drivers, receivers, ESD structures, termination, and clocking circuits tailored to specific process nodes and packaging technologies.
• You will define integration-level requirements and interface specifications, coordinate with specialist colleagues across digital design and verification, and undertake physical design work at the integration level, including floorplanning, I/O ring planning, and interface layout across dies, interposers, and packaging substrates.
• In addition to project delivery, you will act as an advocate for the Centre's capabilities.
• You will engage in peer-to-peer technical dialogue with industry partner design teams, support partners in applying the Centre's reusable design assets, contribute to technical workshops and design masterclasses to upskill the UK design community, and represent the Centre's analog/mixed-signal design and integration capabilities at industry events and conferences.

• We are looking for a self-starter who can work proactively and collaboratively to achieve project outcomes.
• You will have authoritative practical knowledge of analog/mixed-signal circuit design and a strong understanding of the semiconductor design and manufacturing ecosystem, including design flows, PDKs, packaging processes, and design-for-test.
