Senior Analog Designer (Power Management)

Job Title

Senior Analog Designer (Power Management)

Role Summary

Lead the architecture, design, and development of Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC) from specification through silicon bring-up and mass production. Serve as the technical lead within the analog/mixed-signal design team and collaborate with packaging, process, test, and system teams to optimize power density, efficiency, and manufacturability.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 5+ years of experience in power management IC or analog/mixed-signal design.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include end-to-end product ownership, transistor- to system-level design, verification, and production support:

• Define product specifications, select architectures and process nodes for new PMIC families.
• Design and implement critical circuit blocks from transistor level to system level, ensuring robustness across PVT corners and manufacturing.
• Develop verification strategies, simulation plans, and corner-case analyses to ensure first-pass silicon success.
• Direct layout implementation with emphasis on matching, symmetry, and parasitic control.
• Lead post-silicon bring-up, characterization, root-cause analysis, and performance optimization.
• Collaborate with Test, Packaging, Process, and Product teams to develop production test plans and drive yield improvements.
• Propose novel circuit ideas, contribute to IP creation and patent filings.
• Author technical documentation (application notes, guidelines, datasheets) and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and demonstrated experience:

• 5+ years of experience in Power Management IC design (analog/mixed-signal) with multiple chips taken to high-volume production.
• Deep understanding of analog/mixed-signal IC design, semiconductor physics, and IC design flows.
• Expert knowledge of power topologies, control schemes, stability analysis, and compensation techniques.
• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex silicon issues (stability, noise, EMI, thermal).
• Strong leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Expert proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools for circuit design and verification; scripting for automation preferred.

Education Requirements

Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or Microelectronics.
