PMIC Analog Designer

Job Title

PMIC Analog Designer

Role Summary

Design and lead development of power-management integrated circuits (PMICs) for multi-rail and high-current applications. Serve as the technical lead within a global analog design team and as the primary interface to Tier‑1 customers and cross-functional partners to deliver production-ready silicon.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Role requires extensive experience in power-management IC development (typically 10+ years).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include architecture, detailed design, modeling, and technical leadership for PMIC products.

• Architect, model, and define sub-system specifications for PMIC solutions (inductive and capacitive DC‑DC converters, LDOs, shunt regulators, multi‑rail architectures).
• Translate system-level specifications into cost-effective silicon designs and lead end-to-end circuit development.
• Design high-current power stages with packaging- and parasitic-aware considerations; optimize loop stability, transient response, and efficiency.
• Define architecture and detailed design specifications; lead and mentor junior design engineers.
• Develop system and behavioral models (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Verilog‑A/AMS) to validate architecture and loop stability.
• Drive and participate in critical design reviews; ensure manufacturability and design robustness.
• Act as PMIC technical lead for Tier‑1 customers and coordinate cross-functional activities (layout, test, packaging, quality, product).
• Provide technical leadership for innovation and roadmap planning; contribute to patentable solutions.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• Expertise in power conversion topologies: buck, boost, buck‑boost, charge pumps, LDOs, multi‑phase architectures.
• Strong control techniques knowledge: current‑mode, voltage‑mode, hysteretic control and loop compensation.
• Deep experience in high-current power-stage design and packaging/parasitic-aware design.
• Power integrity modeling and analysis (frequency and time domain), simulation optimization, and silicon correlation.
• Solid foundation in analog design, control theory, and device physics.
• Hands‑on experience with Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre; experience with MATLAB/Simulink.
• Proven track record delivering products from concept to high-volume manufacturing; strong communication and customer collaboration skills.
• Demonstrated ability to develop novel architectures and drive innovation.

Nice-to-have: experience with Verilog‑A/AMS behavioral modeling, advanced packaging simulation tools, and prior Tier‑1 customer integrations.

Education Requirements

MS in Electrical Engineering with 12+ years of relevant experience, or PhD with 10+ years of relevant experience in power-management IC development.
