Intelligent Power Devices Expert (Principal Analog Engineer)

Job Title

Intelligent Power Devices Expert (Principal Analog Engineer)

Role Summary

Technical leader for development of next-generation Intelligent Power Devices (IPDs). Owns system and design decisions across concept, design, validation, qualification and production readiness for automotive-grade smart switch products. Leads cross-functional teams, mentors engineers, and aligns stakeholders to deliver reliable, power-efficient IPD solutions.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 10 years of experience in IPD (Intelligent Power Device) development.

Responsibilities

Accountable for technical direction, product quality, and delivery of IPD projects. Key responsibilities include:

• Provide technical leadership and define system and design architectures balancing performance, reliability, power efficiency, area, and cost.
• Lead cross-functional development teams through concept, design, verification, validation, qualification, and production readiness.
• Drive design verification, modeling, simulation, and test methodologies to achieve robust first-pass silicon.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate silicon- and system-level technical risks to ensure predictable project execution.
• Ensure compliance with automotive reliability and functional safety standards (e.g., AEC-Q100, ISO 26262).
• Manage project schedules, budgets, resources, and technical deliverables; provide hands-on support for evaluation and complex debugging.
• Collaborate with design, verification, test, quality, and application teams and mentor engineers to build IPD capabilities.

Requirements

Must-have technical experience and capabilities:

• Minimum 10 years of experience in IPD development.
• Proven experience leading and managing engineering teams.
• Extensive knowledge of Power MOSFET (PoMOS) design, structure, and characteristics used in IPDs.
• Strong understanding of PoMOS driving methods in IPD applications.
• Proven experience in IPD testing, validation, and reliability assessment.
• Solid knowledge of thermal design principles and device thermal management.
• Experience working to automotive reliability and functional safety standards (AEC-Q100, ISO 26262).

Nice-to-have:

• Knowledge of EMC and ESD design and testing.

Education Requirements
