These technologies are critical to enabling the continued growth of data centres, 5G infrastructure, and fibre-to-the-home networks. Job Summary: The Analog Design Manager leads analog and mixed-signal design engineering activities across multiple high-speed IC product lines, owning the full new product introduction (NPI) lifecycle from product definition through to volume production. The role is responsible for directing a multidisciplinary team of circuit designers and layout engineers, driving technical execution across concurrent development programmes, and ensuring robust delivery of high-performance IC designs aligned to business and customer requirements. Responsibilities: Lead and manage a multidisciplinary team of analog circuit designers and layout engineers, including goal setting, performance management, recruitment, and capability development (20%). Own end-to-end NPI execution across multiple high-speed IC programmes, from concept and architecture through to tape-out, qualification, and production ramp (25%). Translate product roadmap and system requirements into executable analog design plans, ensuring alignment with schedule, cost, and performance targets (10%). Drive design execution across concurrent programmes, including scheduling, resource planning, and risk management (10%). Collaborate closely with Marketing, Product Definition, Applications, Product Engineering, Test, Validation, and Reliability teams to ensure full alignment with customer and system requirements (10%). Lead pre-tape-out reviews, ensuring design compliance against specification, layout verification, and production readiness (10%). Oversee post-silicon bring-up, silicon correlation, and performance optimisation to improve first-pass success rates and product maturity (10%). Prepare and present technical updates, design reviews, and programme status reporting to senior leadership, ensuring clear visibility of risks, milestones, and delivery progress (5%). Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or related technical discipline required 10+ years’ experience in semiconductor analog design required 5+ years’ experience in a leadership or engineering management role required Hands-on experience in analog circuit design, mixed-signal integration, simulation, and IC verification Proven experience leading NPI programmes within semiconductor development environments Strong ability to manage multiple concurrent projects under schedule and resource constraints Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across cross-functional engineering organisations Desired Qualifications: Master’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or related discipline preferred Experience in optical communication IC design, including laser drivers and transimpedance amplifiers Experience with SAP, semiconductor design tools, and advanced analog simulation environments Experience supporting or leading high-speed IC development programmes through full product lifecycle Exposure to semiconductor device physics and analog design optimisation techniques Experience implementing engineering standards, methodologies, or design governance frameworks • Project or programme management certification (e.g., PMP) preferred Career Growth Philosophy At Semtech, we seek innovation and leadership from every member of our team. We invest in our people with the support, resources, and opportunity to excel — and we recognise and reward those who drive results.
