Type:

full-time

Job Description:

Role Overview As the Design Lead, you will spearhead the design and development of high-performance PMIC products. You will lead a multidisciplinary team to define chip architectures, oversee mixed-signal implementation, and ensure successful tape-outs that meet aggressive performance and schedule targets.

Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership:

Direct and participate in the full IC development lifecycle, including research, design, and evaluation of PMIC products.

Architecture &Specification:

Define system-level architectures and write detailed specifications for analog and mixed-signal blocks such as LDOs , Buck/Boost converters , and Battery Management systems.

Design & Verification:

Lead full-chip integration and top-level simulations; drive verification strategies to ensure design completeness across all process corners.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Partner with Digital Design , Verification , Layout , and Test Engineering teams to resolve complex trade-offs between power, area, and performance.

Silicon Debug & Characterization:

Lead post-silicon validation, bench correlation, and root-cause analysis during debug phases to ensure production readiness.

Required Qualifications Education:

Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on power electronics or microelectronics.

Experience:

10+ years of relevant IC design experience , with a proven track record of releasing multiple PMIC products into high-volume manufacturing.

Technical Expertise:

Expertise in analog/mixed-signal blocks : Bandgaps, OP-Amps, high-efficiency switching regulators, and data converters (ADC/DAC). Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre) and modeling languages (Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog).

Process Knowledge:

Good understanding of BCD process technologies Strong grasp of semiconductor device physics and design for EMI/EMC and ESD protection. Preferred Skills Familiarity with digital control architectures and industry-standard protocols
