Sr. Analog IC Designer (Power)

Role Overview

·       Lead the architecture, design, and development of next-generation Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC).

·       Own the full product lifecycle independently—from specification definition and transistor-level design to silicon bring-up and mass production support.

·       Drive technical innovation and mentor junior engineers to elevate team capabilities.

Impact & Leadership

·       Technical Authority: Define roadmaps for high-efficiency power conversion systems, solving complex challenges in topology, control loops, and thermal performance.

·       End-to-End Ownership: Take full responsibility for tape-out success, yield enhancement, and reliability validation.

·       Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Packaging, Process, and System teams to co-optimize solutions for maximum power density and efficiency.

·       Mentorship: Guide and review the work of junior designers, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Responsibilities:

• Architecture & Definition: Lead product specification definition, architecture selection, and process node evaluation for new PMIC families.
• Advanced Circuit Design: Architect and implement critical circuit blocks from transistor level to system level, ensuring robustness across PVT corners and high-volume manufacturing readiness.
• Verification Strategy: Define comprehensive simulation plans, corner cases, and verification methodologies to guarantee first-pass silicon success.
• Layout & Integration: Direct physical layout implementation, enforcing strict matching, symmetry, and parasitic control strategies.
• Silicon Bring-up & Debug: Lead post-silicon characterization, root-cause analysis of failures, and performance optimization.
• Production & Yield: Collaborate with Test and Product engineers to develop production test plans, optimize test time, and drive yield improvement initiatives.
• Innovation & IP: Propose novel circuit ideas, drive IP creation and file patents.
• Documentation: Author definitive application notes, guidelines, data sheets, and related materials.
