Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include delivering block-level analog/mixed-signal PMIC solutions and supporting silicon evaluation.
- Define, design, verify, and document mixed-signal power-management circuits and blocks.
- Execute design and verification strategies for assigned blocks under technical lead supervision.
- Perform circuit simulation, functional checks and post-silicon debug to validate specs.
- Oversee layout activities and participate in silicon evaluation and yield bring-up.
- Monitor industry trends and competitor products relevant to power management.
- Communicate technical status and trade-offs to peers and stakeholders; collaborate across teams.
- Contribute to next-generation initiatives and innovation within the PMIC organization.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience for success in this position.
Must-have:
- Proven experience designing analog and mixed-signal PMIC circuits (power electronics, regulators, control loops).
- Hands-on experience with circuit simulation and verification workflows leading to silicon.
- Experience with layout review and coordinating silicon bring-up and debug.
- Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as Cadence ADE and MathWorks MATLAB.
- Strong problem solving, written and verbal communication, and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with Verilog/Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog or behavioral/UVM modeling for mixed-signal verification.
