Senior Principal Analog Design Engineer

The Allegro team is united by a clear purpose—advancing technologies that make the world safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. With over 30 years of experience in semiconductor innovation, we bring that purpose to life across every part of the business—from breakthrough product development and customer success to how we show up for each other and the communities we serve.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Principal Analog Design Engineer at Allegro MicroSystems, you will be a pivotal technical leader within our design organization. You will leverage your deep expertise in analog integrated circuit design to drive the development of highly complex and innovative solutions for our next-generation products. This role requires not only exceptional technical acumen but also the ability to mentor junior engineers, define architectural strategies, and significantly influence product roadmaps. You will tackle the most challenging design problems, contributing directly to Allegro's market leadership and technological advancements.

What You Will Do

• Lead the architecture, design, simulation, and verification of complex analog and mixed-signal circuits for high-performance integrated circuits, from concept to mass production.

• Drive the definition of circuit specifications, block-level partitioning, and top-level integration strategies.

• Perform advanced circuit analysis, modeling, and simulation using industry-leading EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS, Verilog-A/AMS).

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to less experienced engineers, fostering their growth and ensuring design quality across the team.

• Collaborate closely with system architects, digital design engineers, layout engineers, test engineers, and product marketing to ensure successful product realization.

• Develop and implement innovative design techniques and methodologies to achieve aggressive performance, power, and area targets.

• Lead design reviews, critically evaluating designs, providing constructive feedback, and ensuring robust design practices are followed.

• Oversee silicon characterization, debug, and validation activities, driving root cause analysis for complex issues.

• Contribute to intellectual property generation through invention disclosures and patent applications.

• Stay abreast of the latest industry trends, technologies, and competitive landscape, applying this knowledge to influence future product definitions and technology roadmaps.

What You Will Bring

• Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.

• Typically 10+ years of progressive experience in analog integrated circuit design, with a proven track record of successfully bringing complex ICs to market.

• Deep expertise in the design of a wide range of analog building blocks, such as high-performance op-amps, ADCs/DACs, PLLs, bandgap references, LDOs, power management circuits, and sensor interfaces.

• Extensive experience with advanced semiconductor process technologies, including BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) and deep sub-micron CMOS processes.

• Proficiency with a full suite of EDA tools for schematic capture, simulation, layout, and verification (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS, Calibre, Quantus).

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to tackle complex technical challenges independently and collaboratively.

• Demonstrated leadership capabilities, including mentoring, technical guidance, and influencing cross-functional teams.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present complex technical information clearly and concisely.

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities.
