Job Description

Senior Audio IC Design Engineer (Class-D / Power + Signal Chain)

Location: Redmond, WA
Comp: $160K-200K base + benefits
Company: Stealth-mode product builds + Tier1 partnerships

What this role actually is

If you've designed real audio silicon (not just blocks on paper) and taken at least one chip to silicon + bring-up, this is your lane. You'll own audio-centric analog/mixed-signal IC design end-to-end, especially:

• Class-D / audio amplifier architectures
• Power + analog signal chain (ADC front-end, regulators, biasing)
• Silicon debug when things don't behave like your sims said they would

This is not a narrow "block owner" role. It's for engineers who can go from architecture >  transistor > layout > interaction > lab bench > fix > ship.

What you'll actually do

• Design audio IC blocks from scratch (Class-D, analog front-end, PMIC elements)
• Build robust analog/mixed-signal circuits (bandgaps, POR, regulators, comparators)
• Run real simulations that matter: PVT, Monte Carlo, post-layout
• Own silicon bring-up and lab characterization
• Solve power + efficiency challenges in audio systems
• Partner closely with layout, validation, and customers

You're a strong fit if you

• Have 6+ years in analog/mixed-signal IC design
• Work comfortably at the transistor level (CMOS)
• Have shipped at least one tapeout
• Have hands-on experience with:
  • Audio ICs (Class-D preferred)
  • OR adjacent high-performance analog signal chains
• Know your way around
  • Cadence Virtuoso + SPICE (Spectre/HSPICE)
  • PVT, mismatch, noise, stability analysis
• Have done silicon debug in the lab scope analyzers real measurements

Bonus points (but not required)

• Low-power / high-efficiency design experience
• Verilog-AMS
• Python or MATLAB for automation

What makes someone stand out here

• You've personally debugged failing silicon and fixed it
• You understand audio performance tradeoffs deeply (efficiency vs THD vs noise)
• You can move between system thinking and transistor-level detail easily
• You don't wait for specs, you help define them

Why this team

• 600+ engineers globally, deep silicon + product expertise
• Strong engineering culture (low ego, high ownership)
• Work on real shipped products in consumer/connected devices
• Tight, collaborative US team with global backing

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and overall compensation package
• Full benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision
• 401 (K) with generous company match
• Generous Paid time off (PTO)
• Vacation, sick, and paid holidays
• Life Insurance coverage
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology projects
