Develop and advance new technology concepts from early-stage ideas through to demonstrated feasibility
Assess feasibility and practicality of novel approaches, identifying key risks, trade-offs, and fundamental limitations
Design and implement transistor-level circuits to validate new concepts on test chips
Develop prototypes to prove and demonstrate potential solutions
Analyse experimental data, modelling, and simulation results to guide technical direction
Drive silicon bring-up, lab validation, debug, and characterisation of prototype designs
Iterate quickly when results do not meet expectations, refining concepts and implementations to converge on viable solutions
Present findings clearly and contribute to technical reviews through effective communication and documentation
Directly contribute to product competitiveness by establishing that new features and solutions are feasible, advantageous, and robust for product use
Identify high-value mid
and long-term technical challenges and opportunities to drive innovation
Challenge existing approaches and thinking within the wider organisation to drive innovation

Strong background in analog / mixed-signal IC design at transistor level
Deep understanding of CMOS analog fundamentals, including noise, stability, linearity, and device behaviour
Proven experience taking designs from concept through simulation, silicon implementation, and lab validation
Ability to assess feasibility of early-stage concepts, asking the right questions, identifying key risks and trade-offs, and filling gaps in incomplete problem definitions
Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to expose both conceptual and implementation issues quickly and iterate toward solutions
Ability to work across disciplines, combining circuit design with algorithms, modelling, and system-level thinking
Proficient data analysis skills, with the ability to analyse complex data sets to identify issues and guide iteration
Strong communication skills, with the ability to present findings clearly, support technical discussions, and influence direction across the team
Fluency with industry-standard design, prototyping and modelling tools (e.g., Spectre, Cadence, MATLAB, Python)
Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering or related discipline (preferably grade 2:1 or better); advanced degree (MSc/PhD) advantageous
