TL;DR · PMIC Design Engineer, Staff

The PMIC Design Engineer, Staff joins the PMIC Design team to define, design, verify, and document Mixed Signal and Power Management Integrated Circuits. This role involves determining architectural designs and circuit level implementations based on system requirements, owning design and verification strategies, and collaborating with layout engineers for physical verification. The engineer will utilize CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and Verilog/VHDL to develop solutions involving power electronics, control theory, precision oscillators, high accuracy data converters, analog front ends, high bandwidth linear amplifiers, very low power references, electromigration, transistor reliability, behavioral modeling, and UVI techniques. The work focuses on solving technical challenges for products across the auto, IoT, and cellular business units to achieve next generation connected computing initiatives while ensuring compatibility, safety, manufacturability, and compliance.

What you'll do

  • Define, design, verify, and document critical Mixed Signal and Power Management Integrated Circuits.
  • Determine architectural designs and circuit-level implementations based on system-level requirements.
  • Apply advanced knowledge of power electronics, control theory, and transistor reliability to all design aspects.
  • Own the design and verification strategies for Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs).
  • Use specialized tools and applications to achieve advanced architecture for blocks, modules, or chips.
  • Collaborate with layout engineers to generate circuit layouts and conduct physical verification.
  • Document circuit implementation, control, and testability while ensuring safety, manufacturability, and compliance.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 6+ years of analog, mixed-signal, or PMIC design experience.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 4+ years of analog, mixed-signal, or PMIC design experience.
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of analog, mixed-signal, or PMIC design experience.
  • 2+ years of academic and/or work experience using CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL.
  • Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering (preferred).
  • 6+ years of experience in analog, mixed-signal, or Power Management integrated circuit design (preferred).
  • 6+ years of experience in areas such as Power Electronics, Control Theory, or High Accuracy Data Converters (preferred).
  • 1+ year in a technical leadership role (preferred).
