Graduate Analogue IC Design Engineer – Custom ASIC & Mixed-Signal Focus
Salary: Competitive + Benefits + Training & Development

Are you a driven final-year Electronics Engineering student with a passion for analogue and mixed-signal circuit design? Join a specialist team working at the cutting edge of custom ASIC development for high-performance, high-reliability systems.

We are looking for a Graduate Analogue IC Design Engineer to become part of our experienced engineering group. You’ll play an essential role in the design and development of bespoke analogue and mixed-signal ICs used in safety-critical and mission-specific applications.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design of analogue and mixed-signal circuit blocks (e.g., amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, bias circuits, PLLs)

  • Perform transistor-level simulations (DC, AC, transient, noise, Monte Carlo, etc.) using industry-standard tools

  • Support layout engineers and verify physical design (LVS, DRC, parasitic extraction)

  • Collaborate closely with digital designers for mixed-signal integration

  • Participate in silicon evaluation, lab testbench setup, and chip bring-up

  • Document designs in line with ISO-certified development processes

    What We’re Looking For

  • B.Eng/MEng in Electronics Engineering (or related).

  • Strong academic performance with modules in Analogue Electronics, Semiconductor Devices, and Signal Processing

  • Understanding of CMOS circuit fundamentals and device-level behaviour

  • Experience with Cadence Virtuoso and simulation tools such as Spectre, HSPICE, or Eldo

  • Exposure to layout considerations including matching, parasitics, and floorplanning

  • Familiarity with lab instrumentation (e.g., oscilloscopes, network analysers, SMUs)

    Nice to Have

  • Internship or placement in analogue/mixed-signal IC design

  • Project experience with ADC/DAC architectures or analogue front-ends

  • Interest in low-power design, high-precision sensing, or RF/PMIC design

  • Experience with layout tools or chip-level validation

    What You’ll Get

  • Hands-on involvement in real-world IC projects from the start

  • Personalised mentorship from senior engineers and structured graduate training

  • Opportunity to work on state-of-the-art ASICs with real-world impact

  • A collaborative, supportive environment where ideas are encouraged and innovation thrives

    Ready to launch your career in custom analogue IC design?
    Apply now to join a world-class team delivering high-performance silicon solutions—where your creativity and technical skills will help shape the next generation of custom electronics
