Role Summary

We are seeking an Expert Analog Hardware Engineer with deep experience in designing, simulating, and validating high-performance analog and mixed-signal electronic systems. The candidate will lead product-level hardware architecture, own critical analog blocks, and guide junior engineers while working closely with cross-functional teams in digital, firmware, RF, and mechanical engineering.

Key Responsibilities

Analog & Mixed-Signal Circuit Design

- Design and optimize analog building blocks such as:

- precision amplifiers (op-amps, instrumentation, transimpedance, low-noise) - ADC/DAC front-ends and signal-conditioning circuits - filters (active/passive, low-noise, anti-aliasing, reconstruction) - power stages (DC-DC, linear regulators, low-noise supplies) - sensor interfaces (bridge, piezo, current/voltage sensing)

- Develop architectures for low-noise, low-distortion, and high-accuracy circuits.

Simulation & Analysis

- Perform SPICE simulations (AC, transient, noise, Monte-Carlo, corner analysis). - Conduct signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and noise analysis. - Model real-world component behavior (parasitics, temperature effects, tolerances).

Hardware Development

- Create complete schematics, BOMs, and documentation.

- Work with PCB layout engineers; provide guidelines for:

- grounding schemes - high-speed/low-noise routing - impedance control - thermal design - isolation and safety compliance

- Perform worst-case analysis and derating for reliability.

Prototyping & Validation

- Bring-up and debug boards using:

- oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, logic analyzers - precision DMMs, SMUs, network analyzers

- Validate performance vs. design specifications.

- Conduct design verification testing (DVT) and root-cause analysis of issues.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Collaborate with embedded firmware and digital hardware teams. - Support manufacturing and production test development. - Review component choices for supply chain resiliency and cost optimization.

Compliance & Certification

- Ensure designs comply with EMI/EMC, safety, environmental, and regulatory standards:

- IEC/UL standards - CISPR/EN noise emission standards - ESD/Surge/ESD immunity

- Support certification processes with test labs.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s/Master’s in Electrical/Electronic Engineering.

- 5+ years proven experience in analog/mixed-signal hardware design.

- Strong expertise in:

- analog circuit theory - low-noise design - precision measurement systems - power electronics fundamentals

- Deep understanding of real-world effects: EMI/EMC, grounding, parasitics, layout impacts.

- Hands-on experience with lab test equipment.

- Proficiency in schematic & simulation tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, LTspice, PSpice).

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with high-voltage/high-power analog systems. - Experience with RF front-ends or high-speed ADCs/DACs. - Experience designing for harsh or industrial environments and military environments. - Familiarity with Python/Matlab for test automation.

Soft Skills

- Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking. - Excellent documentation and communication. - Ability to independently drive complex hardware projects. - Attention to detail and passion for high-quality engineering.
