Key Responsibilities
• Lead the design and development of PMIC analog and mixed-signal circuits, with emphasis on multi-face controller implementations.
• Architect, design, and optimize DC-DC converters (Buck, LDO) and related power regulation circuits to achieve target specifications in performance, efficiency, and reliability.
• Manage the complete IC development cycle: specification, schematic design, simulation, layout review, silicon evaluation, and characterization.
• Collaborate closely with international design teams to align requirements, troubleshoot issues, and drive timely delivery of project milestones.
• Contribute to system-level design, ensuring robust integration of analog/mixed-signal blocks with digital and control logic.
• Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and foster best practices in design methodology.
• Participate in and conduct detailed design reviews, ensuring adherence to quality and reliability standards.
• Support lab validation, debug activities, and mass production readiness.
• Work with cross-functional teams, including layout, digital design, system architecture, and validation teams, to ensure cohesive project execution.
• Continuously explore and adopt advanced analog design methodologies and emerging technologies to maintain competitive technical leadership.
Qualifications
• MSEE or BSEE (or higher) in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 8+ years of hands-on analog/mixed-signal IC design experience, with at least 5 years in PMIC design.
• Proven track record in multi-face controller design and power management circuits (Buck, LDO, DC-DC).
• Strong knowledge of analog building blocks:op-amps, comparators, bandgap references, oscillators, charge pumps, etc.
• Familiarity with mixed-signal interfaces and ADC/DAC integration.
• Proficiency in analog circuit simulation and verification tools (Spectre, HSPICE, etc.) and EDA design environments (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics).
• Excellent communication skills in English; Mandarin proficiency is a strong advantage.
• Ability to collaborate across geographies and lead complex technical discussions.
• Demonstrated success in taking designs from concept through to high-volume production.
• Familiarity with reliability and qualification processes for semiconductor products.
Preferred Skills
• Experience in automotive, consumer, or industrial PMIC applications.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC compliance for power systems.
• Strong lab skills in silicon validation, debugging, and characterization.
• Familiarity with high-volume production flows and reliability/qualification processes.
• Hands-on experience with post-silicon bring-up and characterization of mixed-signal ICs.
