TL;DR · Power Management Systems Design and Verification Engineer

The Power Management Systems Design and Verification Engineer joins the PMIC Systems team to research, specify, design, develop, integrate, and verify power management hardware and software solutions at the chipset and feature levels. This role involves developing test platform hardware and software, performing post-silicon verification, triaging system-level problems to determine root causes, and documenting component functionality for a PMIC. The engineer will utilize tools such as MATLAB, Excel, and Mentor Graphics while applying expertise in power electronics, thermal analysis, and firmware coding. Required skills include proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages, PCB layout, and knowledge of SMPS, LDO, Buck Converters, Boost Converters, battery charging, and USB interfaces. The work focuses on solving complex power management challenges to ensure system-level performance and power metrics meet specific chipset requirements and industry standards.

What you'll do

  • Research, design, and develop power management hardware and software solutions at the chipset and feature levels.
  • Specify power management products, functions, and supporting software to meet specific chipset requirements.
  • Develop test platforms, create test plans, and perform post-silicon verification.
  • Triage system-level problems to identify and determine root causes.
  • Design and review PCB schematics and layouts for specific sub-systems of chipset designs.
  • Use simulation tools like MATLAB and Mentor Graphics to execute system designs for chipsets.
  • Document component details, data, and functionality for power management integrated circuits (PMIC).

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 1+ year of engineering experience.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Experience in SMPS, LDO, Buck/Boost Converters, Clock systems, Battery charging, or mobile phone hardware (preferred).
  • Expertise in power electronics, thermal analysis, power distribution networks, and firmware coding.
  • Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages.
  • Ability to use design and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Excel, and Mentor Graphics.
  • Experience with PCB layout, construction, and schematic review.
