Description

As a mixed-signal audio Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for contributing to the Marketing Requirements Document and developing the detailed Design and Test Specifications for new low power mixed-signal data converter ICs for portable audio applications. You will work closely with customers and our internal design, applications, validation, marketing, and product-test organizations.

Responsibilities:

Collaborate with Tier 1 customers and our Marketing and Design Engineering teams to define system and performance requirements, feature set, and architecture definition for complex IC designs involving digital audio converters (ADC/DAC) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP).

Consider all product requirements such as customers' requirements, digital/analog process technologies, packaging options, design/system constraints and trades-offs and propose viable solutions.

Communicate ideas and specifications to technical audiences (internal and external customers).

Author, review, and update design specifications (datasheets) and Validation test plans. 

Participate in architecture reviews, IC-level design reviews and board-level design reviews with design engineering, applications, validation and product test engineers.

Perform thorough competitive analysis and participate in industry conferences and forums to ensure device compatibility with adopted standards.

Travel approximately 2 – 5 weeks per year, both domestically and abroad, to interface directly with our customers.

Autonomously manage competing customer- and project-related priorities.

Qualifications include:

Skills, Knowledge, and Experience

Analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits and system-level design fundamentals

Power electronics, PWM amplifier, or power supply design
