Site Job Description

Working in the Power Delivery group of the Advanced Power Systems product line, candidate will be part of a team developing hybrid converter and power delivery solutions for automotive & robotics applications.

Task And Responsibilities

Lead the definition, architecture, design, verification, and validation of complex analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits from concept through production release, ensuring technical excellence in quality, performance, reliability, and schedule.
Drive system-level and block-level architecture tradeoff analysis, translating product requirements into robust circuit solutions while balancing performance, area, power, cost, manufacturability, and functional safety requirements.
Provide technical leadership for critical circuit developments, including power management, data converters, control loops, references, protection circuits, and mixed-signal subsystems, while mentoring junior engineers and guiding design best practices.
Own technical risk assessment and mitigation strategies throughout the development cycle, including architecture reviews, design reviews, silicon bring-up, debugging, characterization, and customer issue resolution.
Collaborate closely with system architects, digital design, AMS verification, layout, product engineering, validation, functional safety, reliability, and program management teams across global sites to ensure successful project execution.
Drive innovation through new circuit techniques, design methodologies, patents, publications, and technology scouting activities that contribute to future product competitiveness.
Review and approve key design deliverables, including specifications, architecture documents, design reviews, verification plans, layout guidance, silicon evaluation reports, and design notes.
Support customer engagements and strategic technical discussions by providing deep technical expertise, root-cause analysis, and solution recommendations for complex customer applications.

Qualifications

Candidate needs to hold a minimum of a M.S. degree in electrical engineering. PhD degree is preferred.
At least 10 years direct experience designing analog and mixed-signal transistor level circuitry for power management applications.
Must have expertise in analog circuit design theory and control theory and have used this to create original and novel circuits that provide significant value.
Ability to design traditional analog MOS and BJT circuits such as bandgap references, amplifiers, oscillators, detection circuits, linear LDO and switching regulators.
Ability to design DC-DC converter, switch cap converter and load switches will be a great additional skills required for the position. Hybrid Converter experience is highly preferred.
Other desirable skills include experience with mixed-signal design tools and flow, reading and writing Verilog AMS models.
