Principal Analog Design Engineer

Job description

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 Are you ready to design the high-performance components that power a safer, more sustainable, and autonomous future? At Allegro MicroSystems, we are global leaders in power and sensing solutions. As a Senior Analog Design Engineer , you will be foundational to our core product development. You will craft the precise and efficient analog components that power our world-class power management ICs, and motor drivers. Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will drive technical excellence and directly enable Allegro's mission to Innovate with Purpose. What You’ll Do Drive the Future: Design at the transistor level to deliver analog power management circuits (e.g. op-amps, comparators, level-shifters, gate drivers, charge pumps) that meet rigorous specifications from chip architects or analog leads. Solve Complex Challenges: Use sound judgment and creativity to evaluate design alternatives, performing worst-case simulation techniques to ensure robust performance across all conditions. Strategic Negotiation: Partner with Systems Engineers to negotiate specifications, effectively trading off performance versus costs versus development timescales. End-to-End Planning: Take ownership of block development, including creating verification plans, providing production test support, and ensuring high-quality, on-time delivery. Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Serve as a technical resource for layout, test, and validation teams, understanding the critical impact of your block's performance on the overall chip-level results. Lead with Autonomy: Manage small project teams or mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and "One Allegro" collaboration. Who You Are Expert Designer: You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of relevant experience (or 3+ years with a Master’s) in analog/mixed-signal IC design. Technical Specialist: You have comprehensive knowledge of CMOS technology and an understanding of physical design for power management, including parasitics, dielectric, and junction isolation. Proven Problem Solver: You have a track record of applying advanced engineering principles to solve wide-ranging assignments with a high degree of independence. Tool Mastery: You are a power user of industry-standard EDA tools, specifically the Cadence chip design suite and modern simulation environments. Strategic Communicator: You possess excellent analytical and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence others and present complex technical concepts clearly. Nice to Have Experience leading a chip from concept to tape-out. Innovative Mindset: Familiarity with or interest in using generative AI within an IC design context to improve efficiency and workflow. Advanced Technologies: Experience with Bipolar CMOS DMOS (BCD) and designing Gate Drive circuits for both Silicon and Gallium-Nitride (GaN) MOSFETs. Automotive Excellence: Design experience for automotive ESD and Safety-Critical semiconductors ( ISO 26262 and ASIL compliance). System View: Proven ability in the translation of system-level requirements to block-level requirements. Why Allegro? Join Allegro and become part of a team where your contributions truly matter. We foster a culture of Real Innovation , empowering you to push boundaries, develop cutting-edge solutions, and drive continuous improvement. Your work will create a Real Impact by solving complex real-world challenges that fuel our success and shape the future of technology. You’ll experience Real Connection , collaborating with talented colleagues around the globe in an environment built on trust, respect, and a shared purpose. Join us—and help build what’s next.
