Staff Power IC Design Engineer

Job Title

Staff Power IC Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design high-performance power management integrated-circuit blocks (DC-DC converters, LDOs, charge pumps, gate drivers, power stages and protection circuits) from specification through silicon bring-up. The role sits in ADI's Shanghai design center and collaborates with global teams to support process development and next-generation power technologies.

Experience Level

Senior-level engineer. Typical experience: M.S.E.E. with 7+ years in power IC design, or Ph.D. with 5+ years; equivalent experience considered.

Responsibilities

Deliver transistor-level power IC circuit blocks and support their validation and production release. Key responsibilities include:

• Design and implement power-management circuits (buck, boost, buck-boost, LDOs, charge pumps, gate drivers, power stages, protection).
• Perform schematic capture, transistor-level simulation, parasitic-aware post-layout verification, and layout oversight.
• Optimize transient response, loop bandwidth, load regulation, and power-stage performance across process corners and operating conditions.
• Execute silicon bring-up, debug measured results, and correlate bench measurements with simulation.
• Lead trade-offs between efficiency, area, EMI, reliability, and cost; own block/subsystem from specification to silicon bring-up.
• Support reliability, thermal, and manufacturing-yield analyses (loss analysis, thermal management, Monte Carlo and statistical design centering).
• Collaborate across global, cross-functional teams and contribute to design reviews and process evaluations.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience (education items listed separately below):

• Strong transistor-level design skills for high-performance power-management circuits and demonstrated delivery through tape-out to production.
• Experience with BCD, HV-CMOS and power FET technologies, including device physics and safe operating area considerations.
• Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre/APS or equivalent IC design and power-stage simulation tools.
• Experience in control-loop design, compensation, and stability analysis for switching and linear regulators.
• Skilled in parasitic-aware simulation, power-stage optimization, and design centering across corners.
• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, debug, and simulation/measurement correlation.
• Effective collaborator across global teams; excellent communication in Mandarin and strong English for cross-site work.

Education Requirements

Preferred: M.S. in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) with 7+ years of power IC design experience, or Ph.D. with 5+ years. B.S.E.E. (BSEE) will be considered with equivalent practical experience. Acceptable fields include Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or closely related technical disciplines; equivalent industry experience is also acceptable.
