Senior Analog SoC Architect

About the job

As Senior Analog Architect you define the analog and mixed-signal architecture of Nordic's next-generation Microcontroller and Wireless SoCs. You turn system requirements into architectures and specifications, set the technical direction for the analog design teams, and stay accountable for performance, power, area and robustness from concept to silicon. You work with analog, digital, system, verification, layout and product teams, and you are a technical reference for senior engineers across the group. This is a unique opportunity to combine deep technical expertise with strategic impact while working with some of the industry's most experienced engineers.

Key responsibilitiesDefine analog and mixed-signal architectures for SoCs, balancing performance, power, area, robustness and reliability.

Translate product and system requirements into block-level specifications, budgets and verified architectures.

Evaluate architectural trade-offs and technology options, and drive early feasibility studies and prototyping.

Guide design teams through schematics, simulation, design reviews, layout and post-layout checks, and step in at transistor level when needed.

Define simulation and verification strategies, including top-level analog and mixed-signal verification, across the design cycle.

Own analog IP integration at chip level, including interfaces to digital, power management and RF blocks.

Work with layout, test and product engineering on floorplanning, parasitic-aware trade-offs, silicon bring-up and characterization.

Mentor engineers and improve design methodologies, reuse strategies and engineering practices.

Document architectural decisions, assumptions, results and risks for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Key qualifications and personal skillsA master's or PhD in electrical engineering, microelectronics, physics or a related field.

Extensive and hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal IC, including several complete SoC or IP project
