Principal Analog Design Engineer – PMIC Production Support

Job Title

Principal Analog Design Engineer – PMIC Production Support

Role Summary

Responsible for sustaining engineering and production support of Power Management IC (PMIC) products based on SmartMOS / BCD technologies. The role drives root-cause analysis, failure analysis, production test and manufacturing improvements, and supports fab transfers and product ramp-up.

Works closely with application, digital, AMS, product/test, quality and manufacturing teams to improve quality, cost and yield for products in production.

Experience Level

Senior level. Minimum 5 years' experience in Analog / Mixed-Signal IC design, with PMIC exposure preferred.

Responsibilities

Main responsibilities include sustaining engineering, customer return investigations, and production support:

• Support analog design activities for products in production to ensure robustness and performance.
• Lead customer return (RMA) investigations and define corrective actions.
• Drive failure analysis with FA labs and define investigation strategies.
• Propose and implement production test improvements and manufacturing optimizations.
• Support fab transfers, product qualification, and ramp-up activities.
• Identify cost-reduction opportunities across design, test and process.
• Perform schematic reviews and simulations (nominal, PVT, Monte Carlo) using Cadence tools.
• Analyze IC layout as needed to support investigations.
• Generate design reports, support 8D methodology, and document lessons learned.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Minimum 5 years in Analog / Mixed-Signal IC design and production support.
• Experience with PMICs and SmartPower / BCD technologies.
• Proven experience in silicon debug, root cause analysis and yield improvement.
• Proficiency in Cadence design environment: schematic entry and simulation including PVT and Monte Carlo.
• Ability to read and interpret IC layout.
• Experience collaborating with manufacturing, test and reliability teams.
• Familiarity with structured problem‑solving methods (8D) and failure analysis workflows.
• Strong analytical, organizational and communication skills; ability to work in cross‑functional international teams.

Education Requirements

Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
