Senior Principal Analog IC Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior Principal Analog IC Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and validate high-performance analog power management ICs (PMICs, power loss protection, motor control, battery management) for mobile, consumer, IoT, and industrial applications. The role drives architecture, transistor-level design, simulation, and release activities while collaborating with global teams, layout, test, and product engineering.

Experience Level

Senior - typically 15+ years of engineering experience, including at least 8+ years in analog and mixed-signal IC design with DC-DC power converter architectures and control methodologies.

Responsibilities

Accountable for end-to-end analog power IC design from architecture through production release.

• Lead architecture and circuit design for high-efficiency power management ICs.
• Perform transistor-level design, simulation, and verification to meet specs.
• Select and implement circuit topologies with emphasis on robustness, yield, and manufacturability.
• Work with layout engineers to optimize floorplanning and parasitic effects.
• Define validation and production test strategies with test and characterization teams.
• Collaborate across global teams to align development plans and drive execution.
• Prepare technical documentation and present design decisions and trade-offs to stakeholders.

Requirements

Must-have technical experience and skills for immediate contribution.

• 15+ years of engineering experience in the semiconductor industry, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years in analog and mixed-signal IC design, specifically DC-DC converter architectures and control (voltage-mode, current-mode).
• Proven experience with transistor-level simulation and validation to meet functional and performance specifications.
• Experience with EDA/verification flows including EMIR/capacitive-coupling analysis, parasitic extraction, and handling floating nodes.
• Track record of shipping production power management ICs.
• Effective oral and written communication of technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso, Simplis, ADS.
• Hands-on lab experience supporting high-frequency switching power supplies.

Education Requirements

Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent practical experience). Preferred: Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering. Fields: electrical engineering or closely related technical disciplines; equivalent industry experience accepted.
