• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master's or PhD preferred)
• 7+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience with deep expertise in power management
• Strong hands-on experience designing at least one of Buck, boost, SIMO converter in silicon.
• Expert hands-on experience of LDOs, Charge Pumps, Boot Strap, Switch Cap circuits.
• Expert command of converter control architectures: Adaptive on Time, Constant on/off Time, peak/valley/average current mode control, control systems and compensations.
• Hands-on transistor-level design of integrated power FETs, gate drivers, oscillators, bandgap/bias circuits, error amplifiers, and frequency compensation networks
• High-efficiency design techniques: adaptive dead-time, DVS, multi-phase current balancing, light-load optimization, and IDDQ minimization at high switching frequencies
• Experience with multi-rail PMIC SoC integration: power sequencing, UVLO, OCP, OTP, and digital interfaces (I2C, SPI, MIPI I3C)
• Fully proficient and deeply comfortable with standard Power IC design flows end-to-end (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre)
• Worst-case corner analysis, top-level and Monte Carlo simulation, and post-layout PEX sign-off
• Physical layout review: power routing, grounding, signal integrity, thermal management, and die area optimization
• Working knowledge of Simplis and AMS co-simulation flows required; hands-on expertise is a strong plus
• Strong knowledge of BCD and/or advanced CMOS process trade-offs for high-performance Power IC design
• Full-cycle IC design experience: schematic, simulation, layout collaboration, post-layout verification, silicon validation, and characterization
• Ability to work independently and drive technical decisions with confidence, and multi-task
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
Preferred qualifications:
• Experience of designing PMICs for consumer electronics (mobile, laptops, wearables)
• Experience in customer-facing technical alignment and specification negotiation
• Prior experience as a technical lead or design owner on a multi-block PMIC products for consumer electronics (mobile, laptops, wearables)
• Demonstrated ability to drive customer and cross-functional technical discussions with authority and ownership
• Proven track record of mentoring engineers through complex design challenges
• Ability to manage and personally execute multiple concurrent design tasks on aggressive schedules with high autonomy
