SUMMARY:
Research on Software Engineering is evolving in the socio-technical analysis and research methods to address the challenges in the industry. Other technology sectors that do not present much research on this topic, like integrated circuits, could benefit from those studies. This work is a case study to identify challenges in delivery processes on mixed-signal projects at a specific design house, considering both technical and social perspectives. We performed 17 semi-structured interviews and examined the available process documents.We analyzed the data using Socio-Technical Grounded Theory. We mapped 14 constructs, 13 propositions, and two explanations to identify those challenges faced by mixed-signal teams. This study discusses the social aspects of Semiconductor’s research, and we propose a list of possible delivery challenges in the context of the focal company. The suggested root causes of challenges in mixed signal projects are the incipient processes specification and the lack of practices related to collaboration in cross-functional teams. Requirement Engineering and DevOps studies provide insights into the organization's implications for improvement.
