Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Lead (PMIC)

Job Title

Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Lead (PMIC)

Role Summary

The Design Lead will drive architecture, design, verification, and tape-out of power-management ICs (PMICs). This role leads a multidisciplinary team including analog, digital, layout, verification, and test engineers to deliver production-ready PMIC products on aggressive schedules.

Primary focus areas include system-level architecture, mixed-signal block implementation, full-chip integration, post-silicon debug, and cross-functional trade-off resolution between power, area, and performance.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 10+ years of relevant IC design experience with a track record of shipping PMIC products to high-volume manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities for the role:

• Lead end-to-end PMIC development lifecycle: research, architecture, detailed design, simulation, verification, and tape-out.
• Define system-level architectures and write specifications for analog/mixed-signal blocks such as LDOs, buck/boost converters, and battery management subsystems.
• Oversee full-chip integration and top-level simulations; establish and drive verification strategies across process, voltage, and temperature corners.
• Coordinate with Digital Design, Verification, Layout, and Test teams to resolve trade-offs among power, area, performance, and cost.
• Lead post-silicon validation, bench characterization, bench-to-silicon correlation, and root-cause analysis during bring-up and debug.
• Mentor and manage technical contributors, set design reviews and quality gates, and ensure schedule delivery.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 10+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience with multiple PMIC products delivered to production.
• Deep expertise in analog/mixed-signal building blocks: bandgaps, op-amps, high-efficiency switching regulators, ADCs/DACs, and power-management subsystems.
• Proficiency with EDA tools and simulators such as Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre.
• Experience with behavioral and mixed-signal modeling languages (Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog).
• Good understanding of BCD process technologies and semiconductor device physics.
• Design practices for EMI/EMC and ESD protection; strong silicon debug and characterization experience.
• Proven leadership in cross-functional engineering teams and in driving design to manufacturing readiness.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with digital control architectures and common communication protocols used in power-management systems.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering with focus on power electronics or microelectronics.
