About the Role:

The ADI Industrial Architecture Team (Wilmington, MA) is seeking an experienced Principal Mixed-Signal Design Engineer with high speed, mixed-signal CMOS design experience for the IC architecture development of breakthrough new products. The candidate will be a key member of an advanced architecture team and drive an industry-leading high-performance Industrial portfolio into new and more highly integrated applications. The candidate will have the opportunity to develop system level designs on both monolithic and heterogeneously integrated systems using fine line CMOS and other process technologies and collaborate closely with an experienced and motivated development team. A demonstrated track record of driving industry-leading performance and innovation, as manifested through patents, peer-reviewed publications and/or industry-leading product leadership, is required. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual and with strong technical, analytical and communication skills. The role will involve significant collaboration with customers, partners and internal centers-of-excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and integration of broadband communications subsystems.
• Develop and implement multi-GHz digital communication systems.
• Design and define RF ADCs/DACs for wideband digital communication systems.
• Perform block-level calibration of data converters.
• Conduct mixed-mode system calibration of subsystems and converters.
• Manage multi-channel synchronization and crosstalk.
• Integrate SERDES, RF CMOS, or data converter designs.
• Work with FinFET or fine-line planar analog CMOS technologies.
• Contribute to software-defined CMOS communications or radar system design.
• Implement digitally-assisted high-speed analog design techniques.

Qualifications:
