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 responsibilities

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

• 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.

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

characterization.

• Extensive and hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal IC, including several complete SoC or IP projects taken to

production.

• Proven experience defining architectures and specifications for complex analog systems, such as data converters, PLLs and

clocking, power management, or RF and analog front-ends.

• Strong grasp of CMOS devices and analog fundamentals, including feedback, noise, mismatch, stability, and

process-voltage-temperature effects.

• Strong communication skills and fluent English. The ideal candidate sees both the system and the transistor, digs deeply into

technical problems, works well alone and in teams, and has real enthusiasm for analog design.

Working at Nordic, you will be inspired and supported to develop yourself. Our teams enjoy a professional and informal working

environment. We value and encourage the continuous development of skills and expertise to the highest levels. We are proud of our

Norwegian heritage, our highly skilled international workforce, and our world-leading innovation.

We offer a variety of tasks and projects, and the possibility to work alongside some of the world’s most renowned experts within

their field. We encourage our employees to question the established and innovate while expecting professionalism, commitment, and

the will to learn.
