Experience Level
Senior — requires substantial industry experience. The posting specifies 8+ years of engineering experience and at least 6 years in analog/mixed-signal IC design, with emphasis on DC-DC power converter architectures.
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include architecture, circuit design, validation, and cross-discipline collaboration to bring power-management ICs to production.
- Lead design and development of high-performance analog power-management ICs targeting efficiency, power density and reliability.
- Define product architecture and specifications with system engineers, balancing performance, power and cost.
- Select and implement circuit topologies that meet robustness, yield and manufacturability targets.
- Perform transistor-level design, simulation and validation to meet functional and performance requirements.
- Collaborate with layout engineers to optimize floorplan, parasitics and silicon performance.
- Work with global design teams to align development strategy and execution.
- Partner with test and characterization engineers to define validation methods, troubleshoot issues, and optimize production test strategies.
- Drive technical reviews and produce design documentation showing analysis and trade-offs.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience are listed first; preferred items follow.
- Must-have: 8+ years of engineering experience in the semiconductor industry.
- Must-have: 6+ years hands-on experience in analog and mixed-signal IC design, particularly DC-DC power converter architectures and control methods.
