Job Level
About the role
- Lead IC design projects from initial concept through production release, focusing on power electronics and mixed‑signal domains.
- Define system architectures and specifications for analog, digital, and mixed‑signal blocks used in handset, fixed wireless access, and infrastructure power management applications.
- Perform circuit‑level and system‑level simulations (Spectre, VerilogA, Verilog‑AMS, etc.) to validate functionality, efficiency, and reliability.
- Drive mixed‑signal simulation flows integrating analog circuit blocks with digital control logic and firmware models.
- Optimize designs for efficiency, thermal performance, EMI/EMC compliance, and manufacturability.
- Collaborate with layout engineers to ensure physical design meets performance targets and complies with design rules.
- Guide verification, characterization, and validation teams to ensure designs meet requirements across process corners, temperature, and voltage ranges.
- Lead technical reviews, mentor engineers, and support skill development across the design team.
- Interface with product management, applications engineers, and customers to translate requirements into robust IC solutions.
- Stay current with advancements in semiconductor technology, modeling techniques, and design methodologies.
Requirements
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 10+ years of IC design experience, with emphasis on power electronics (e.g., PMICs, DC‑DC converters, gate drivers, motor drivers).
- Proven experience leading mixed‑signal IC design, including simulation at transistor and behavioral levels.
- Demonstrated leadership in taking IC products from design through tape‑out and into high‑volume manufacturing.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics and analog/digital circuit design principles.
- Expertise in Cadence Virtuoso, Maestro, Spectre, or equivalent tools.
- Fluent in Verilog‑AMS / VHDL‑AMS for mixed‑signal modeling.
- Experience with power architecture design and integration in IC form.
- Knowledge of layout‑related parasitic and their impact on high‑power/high‑voltage circuits.
- Familiarity with design for EMI/EMC, thermal management, and ESD protection.
Benefits
- Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous Paid Time Off including paid holidays and floating holidays.
- 401(k) employer match on retirement planning.
- Hybrid working schedule for eligible positions.
- Tuition reimbursement on approved programs.
- Flexible and health spending accounts.
- Talent Development program.
