Job description

The role involves overseeing the definition, design, verification, and documentation of mixed-signal integrated circuits in Power Management, focusing on controller ICs and high-current power stage circuitry. The engineer will be involved in all aspects of the design flow, from architecture implementation to silicon bring-up and debug. This position requires expertise in power electronics, control theory, and mixed-signal circuit design. The engineer will also provide technical guidance and mentoring to other engineers.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 6+ years of analog, mixed-signal or Power Management integrated circuit design experience.
  • 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

  • Qualcomm offers competitive compensation, annual bonuses, stock programs, comprehensive healthcare coverage, retirement plans, wellness programs, parental leave, flexible work options, and professional development opportunities.
