PMIC Analog Design Engineer

Job Title

PMIC Analog Design Engineer

Role Summary

Hands-on analog designer responsible for designing and delivering analog blocks for power-management ICs (PMICs). Work with senior technical leads and cross-functional teams to execute block-level designs, participate in layout and verification, and support silicon bring-up and characterization.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting specifies 4+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include full-cycle analog block design and technical ownership within multi-block PMIC products.

• Design and deliver analog circuits for power converters (buck, boost, LDO, charge pump) meeting targets for performance, efficiency, and transient response.
• Contribute to PMIC system architecture and execute block-level designs against power, performance, and area constraints.
• Own technical execution across the IC design flow: schematic capture, simulation, layout review, post-layout verification, silicon bring-up, and characterization.
• Serve as primary technical owner for one or more complex blocks or sub-systems and drive technical decisions to closure.
• Ensure design quality, robustness, and reliability through detailed technical reviews and analyses.
• Collaborate with systems and architecture teams to resolve integration challenges.
• Mentor and support junior engineers on methodology, tools, and best practices.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and competencies followed by preferred skills.

• Proven analog/mixed-signal IC design expertise with strong fundamentals in standard blocks (bandgaps, V-to-I, amplifiers, comparators, level shifters, oscillators).
• Experience with high-voltage circuit designs and high-speed level shifters.
• Familiarity with SOA, reliability and aging simulations.
• Understanding of mismatch, device noise, and techniques such as auto-zeroing and chopping; statistical analysis experience.
• Solid control-systems fundamentals, compensation, and large-signal analysis.
• Proficiency with standard power-IC design flows and tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre).
• Experience with worst-case corner analysis, top-level and Monte Carlo simulation, and post-layout PEX sign-off.
• Knowledge of BCD and/or advanced CMOS process trade-offs for power-IC design.
• Ability to work independently, make architecture trade-offs, and deliver designs on schedule with high quality.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred / Nice-to-have:

• Experience designing PMIC blocks for consumer electronics (mobile, laptops, wearables).
• Familiarity with converter control architectures (adaptive/constant on/off time, current-mode variants).
• Transistor-level design experience for integrated power FETs, gate drivers, oscillators, bandgap/bias circuits, error amplifiers, and compensation networks.
• High-efficiency design techniques focused on minimizing power and area.
• Experience with multi-rail PMIC integration: power sequencing, UVLO, OCP, OTP, and digital interfaces (I2C, SPI, MIPI I3C).
• Experience with Simplis, AMS, or equivalent simulation tools.
• Strong physical-layout understanding including power routing, grounding, signal integrity, thermal management, and die-area optimization.
• Customer-facing technical alignment and specification negotiation experience.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field is required; Master's or PhD is preferred.
