Principal /Sr Principal PMIC Analog Designer

Job Responsibility:

• Architect, model, and define sub-system specifications for advanced power management solutions, including: DC-DC converters (inductive and capacitive), LDOs, shunt regulators, and multi-rail PMIC architectures

• Translate system-level specifications into elegant, robust, and cost-effective silicon solutions Lead end-to-end design of power management circuits, including: High-current power stages and advanced packaging-aware design, Loop stability, transient performance, and efficiency optimization

• Define architecture and provide detailed design specifications to global teams; lead and mentor junior design engineers

• Develop system and behavioral models (MATLAB/Simulink, Verilog-A/AMS) to validate architecture, loop stability, and system performance

• Drive and participate in critical design reviews and ensure design quality, robustness, and manufacturability

• Serve as the PMIC technical lead and primary interface to Tier-1 customers, driving technical discussions and alignment

• Collaborate cross-functionally with system, layout, product, test, packaging, and quality teams to ensure successful product execution

• Provide technical leadership for innovation strategy, including proposing and reviewing long-term roadmap and new architectures

• Drive differentiated innovation and contribute to patentable solutions for next-generation power management products

Job Qualification:

• MS in Electrical Engineering with 12+ years of experience, or PhD with 10+ years of experience in power management IC development

• Proven expertise in power conversion topologies: Buck, boost, buck-boost, charge pumps, LDOs, and multi-phase architectures

• Strong understanding of control techniques: Current-mode, voltage-mode, hysteretic control, and loop compensation

• Deep experience in high-current power stage design, including advanced packaging and parasitic-aware design

• Expertise in power integrity modeling and analysis (frequency/time domain), simulation optimization, and silicon correlation

• Strong foundation in analog design, control theory, and device physics

• Demonstrated ability to develop novel architectures and drive innovation, including patent generation

• Hands-on experience with Cadence IC design tools (Virtuoso, Spectre) and modeling environments (MATLAB/Simulink)

• Proven track record of delivering products from concept to high-volume manufacturing

• Excellent communication skills and experience working with global cross-functional teams and Tier-1 customers
