ADC Analog Engineers

Agile Analog is revolutionising the way Analog circuits are designed. Based in Cambridge, but with the ability to work in a hybrid manner, we are growing quickly to become one of the world’s leading semiconductor IP companies. Using our innovative core technology, we can design circuits faster, to a higher quality, and on any silicon process.

We are disrupting methodologies that have been unchanged for generations and if you have that similar mindset with the desire to make an impact then play a part in our story.

We are looking for multiple experienced contract Analog Engineers with proven ADC knowledge and experience who can hit the ground running to join us for a 6-9 month contract.

• Strong understanding of analog circuit design fundamentals: noise, mismatch, linearity, gain, bandwidth, stability, etc.

• Hands-on experience designing key ADC building blocks:
  • Sample-and-hold circuits
  • Comparators
  • Operational amplifiers
  • Bias and reference circuits
  • SAR logic (for SAR ADCs)
  • Clock/data timing circuits (especially for pipeline or delta-sigma ADCs)
• Deep knowledge of ADC architectures:
  • SAR, pipeline, flash, delta-sigma, successive approximation, etc.

Simulation & Modelling:

• Expertise in SPICE-based simulators (e.g., Spectre, HSPICE, Eldo)
• Experience with Monte Carlo, corner analysis, noise, transient, and AC simulations
• Behavioural modelling using Verilog-A or SystemVerilog

Additional Desirable Skills

• Design for low-power, low-noise, high-speed, or ultra-low-area ADCs
• Experience with mixed-signal design, particularly clocking and digital interface
• Knowledge of digital calibration techniques
• Understanding of lab bring-up, test/debug of silicon
• Familiarity with layout floorplanning and parasitic-aware design
