Analog Design Intern – CSS Audio

Location: Edinburgh, Scotland

Job Description

Analog Devices is seeking an Analog Design Intern to join our Consumer Audio design team in Edinburgh.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative team developing the next generation of high-performance mixed-signal audio solutions. Working alongside experienced analog, mixed-signal and digital design engineers, the intern will contribute to real IC development activities while developing practical experience in transistor-level design, modelling, simulation and verification.

Our audio products combine precision analog and mixed-signal circuits, data converters, Class-D amplification and power-management functions. This internship provides an opportunity to apply university knowledge to real silicon designs and to develop an understanding of the complete IC development process.

Responsibilities

• Conduct circuit architecture research and feasibility studies.
• Design, simulate and verify analog and mixed-signal IC blocks under the guidance of experienced engineers.
• Develop simulation testbenches and contribute to design verification across process, voltage and temperature conditions.
• Analyse circuit performance and understand key trade-offs involving noise, distortion, power consumption, silicon area and robustness.
• Work closely with layout engineers during physical implementation and review.
• Participate in technical and design reviews.
• Support integration and verification of circuit blocks within larger mixed-signal systems.
• Where appropriate, contribute to behavioural/system-level modelling and silicon evaluation activities.

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a BEng, MEng, MSc or PhD in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics or a closely related discipline.
• Good understanding of analog circuit fundamentals and CMOS device operation.
• Familiarity with common analog building blocks such as amplifiers, comparators, references, bias circuits and oscillators.
• Understanding of feedback, frequency response and circuit stability.
• Some experience with circuit simulation and electronic design tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability and enthusiasm to work collaboratively within an engineering team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with transistor-level IC design and Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre.
• Understanding of ADCs, DACs or delta-sigma conversion.
• Understanding of Class-D amplifiers or other audio signal-chain circuits.
• Familiarity with switched-mode power supplies such as buck, boost or charge-pump converters.
• Experience with MATLAB, Python or similar modelling/data-analysis tools.
• Experience using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, signal generators and audio/precision measurement equipment.
• A genuine interest in analog IC design and a passion for audio.
