- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 4+ years of analog, mixed-signal or Power Management integrated circuit design experience.
- PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field and 2+ years of analog, mixed-signal or Power Management integrated circuit design experience.
- 2+ years of academic and/or work experience using CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL.
Responsibilities
- Use design tools to execute the architecture implementation, circuit design, and verification of complex IC blocks and subsystems.
- Own the design and verification strategy for assigned blocks or subsystems within power management ICs.
- Guide layout engineers to generate high-quality layouts and conduct physical and reliability verification of circuits.
- Run advanced functionality and performance checks to ensure designs meet specifications across PVT and operating conditions.
- Document detailed design intent, architectural decisions, circuit functionality, and silicon findings for complex PMIC subsystems.
- Collaborate closely with validation, test, and product engineering teams to support silicon bring-up, characterization, qualification, and production ramp.
- Maintain awareness of industry trends, competitor products, and advances in power management circuits.
Benefits
