Principal /Sr Principal PMIC Analog Designer
Job Responsibility
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
- Advanced packaging-aware design
- Loop stability
- Transient performance
- 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.
