Principal Analog Design Engineer

Job Title

Principal Analog Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead architectural design and delivery of PMIC and mixed-signal products across the full development lifecycle, from customer requirements and specification through silicon verification and production readiness. Act as a global technical authority, mentor engineers, and drive company-wide engineering improvements.

This is a senior technical leadership role focused on power-management ICs, cross-functional collaboration, and strategic roadmap input.

Experience Level

Senior-level engineer. The posting specifies a minimum of approximately 12–15 years of experience in power management and related IC design, with recent experience as a technical project lead.

Responsibilities

Accountable for architecture, delivery, and verification of major analog/mixed-signal blocks and PMIC products. Key responsibilities include:

• Lead full development lifecycle of analog and mixed-signal blocks and top-level PMIC products from specification through design, simulation, and silicon verification.
• Serve as a global technical authority and primary point of contact; provide architectural recommendations and mentor engineering teams.
• Collaborate with customers to define system requirements and trade-offs for performance, area, and power.
• Plan high-level verification, DFT strategy, and coordinate lab evaluation with applications and test engineering to ensure production readiness.
• Identify and implement company-wide improvements in engineering methodologies, policies, and strategic initiatives.
• Contribute to product roadmap planning and align technical direction with market trends and CMOS process evolution.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, leadership experience, and working style.

• 12+ years experience in power management IC design with recent (within ~4 years) experience as a technical project lead on complex ICs.
• Deep knowledge of CMOS power management circuits and practical experience across design and silicon bring-up.
• Proven ability to drive engineering initiatives and process improvements while meeting tight schedules.
• Strong communication and presentation skills for conveying complex technical concepts to multicultural teams and customers.
• Ability to work independently as a technical lead and to mentor and develop other engineers; high cross-cultural sensitivity.
• Willingness and ability to undertake occasional international travel at short notice.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with verification planning, DFT strategies, lab evaluation, and test engineering coordination.
• Familiarity with roadmap planning and adapting designs to evolving CMOS process technologies.

Education Requirements

Degree-level qualification in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline (e.g., Bachelor's or Master's) is stated. The posting implies formal engineering education; equivalent practical experience may be considered.
