PMIC Reference HW Design Engineer

What you'll do

• Design customer reference boards and evaluation kits to optimize performance and cost.
• Develop and publish PMIC PCB design guidelines, schematics, and BOM selections.
• Perform board-level simulations using Power Integrity and Signal Integrity tools to sign off on hardware designs.
• Characterize and publish performance-optimized reference BOM lists for power inductors, capacitors, and third-party components.
• Conduct component characterization and BOM reduction tests in a laboratory environment.
• Use common lab test equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers to validate hardware.
• Identify and provide solutions for Signal and Power Integrity issues using specialized simulators.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 5+ years of engineering experience, OR Master's and 4+ years, OR PhD and 2+ years.
• 2+ years of academic or professional experience using IC design tools, PCB design tools, SPICE, MATLAB, Verilog/VHDL, C, or Python.
• Experience in Power Management (SMPS, LDO, battery chargers, Clocks, ADC) PCB design and component selection including CAD interface.
• Ability to work with common lab test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers.
• Experience in high layer count multilayer boards (6/8/10 layers) (preferred).
• 3+ years of mobile phone or similar product experience in power systems, power grid analysis, or PMIC transistor level design (preferred).
• 3+ years of experience in areas such as SMPS, LDO, Buck/Boost Converters, or Battery charging (preferred).
• 1+ year of experience in a large matrixed organization and 1+ year of experience interacting with leadership (preferred).
