This individual contributor role involves bridging analog circuit design and system-level architecture, including defining IC specifications, drafting datasheets, and performing schematic and layout reviews. The engineer will manage power sequencing, interference mitigation, thermal management, and signal characterization while collaborating with hardware, software, and mechanical teams. Key responsibilities include prototype bring-up, lab debugging using oscilloscopes and power analyzers, and providing production test support. Candidates must possess expertise in power conversion topologies like switching regulators, linear regulators, and high-efficiency DC-DC converters, alongside experience in battery management systems and wireless charging. The role focuses on solving complex technical challenges related to portable, low-power consumer electronics and high-volume product manufacturing.

What you'll do

  • Plan system and subsystem power and charging architecture, including IO trees and wired/wireless charging policies.
  • Translate system requirements into IC definitions and write technical specifications and datasheets.
  • Conduct IC design reviews and manage bug tracking throughout the full product development cycle.
  • Participate in schematic, layout, and IP development reviews for power management systems.
  • Lead prototype bring-up and perform lab debugging of hardware components.
  • Perform bench verification of functional and parametric characteristics using automation scripting.
  • Conduct signal characterization across various power and charging domains.
  • Provide production test support, manufacturing assistance, and resolution for field issues.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • 3+ years of industry experience.
  • Strong EE fundamentals including power converters, op-amps, filters, ADCs/DACs, and output drivers.
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment, circuit prototyping, and debugging.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Experience in areas such as SMPS, linear power supply, PMIC, system power architecture, charging, or battery management (preferred).
  • Experience collaborating across hardware, software, mechanical, and thermal engineering disciplines (preferred).
  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent (preferred).
