Agile Analog is revolutionising the way Analog circuits are designed. We are developing a process agnostic design methodology that uses automation to accelerate the generation of circuits and IP for our customers. Using our innovative technology, we have the capability to design circuits faster, to a higher quality and on any silicon process. We are disrupting methodologies that have been unchanged for generations, So, if you think a little differently, want to work in an environment where you can work on multiple projects and use your knowledge to push ideas forward then we would love to hear from you.Based in Cambridge with a fantastic new managed office, we are also one of the few companies continuing to embrace the flexibility of hybrid working. Please note we are only currently accepting applications from those who already have the right to work in the UK.We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated
