About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead IC Design Engineer to architect and design our next-generation Power Management ICs. In this role, you will serve as the primary technical authority for the development of high-performance Gate Drivers, Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs), and advanced Silicon Capacitor technologies. You will drive the hands-on execution of analog and mixed-signal designs, define block-level architectures, and provide technical mentorship to junior design and layout engineers to deliver market-leading power solutions. This high visibility role involves extensive interaction with management and cross-functional teams, such as Device Engineering, System Applications, and Packaging.

Requirements

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 7+ years of hands-on IC design experience, with a proven track record of successful production tape-outs.
• Deep technical knowledge of high-voltage gate driver architectures, level shifters, and isolation techniques.
• Strong understanding of silicon capacitor fabrication processes, parasitic modeling, and high-frequency characterization.
• Expert proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Mentor Calibre, and mixed-signal simulation methodologies.
• Exceptional laboratory debugging skills using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and high-voltage test equipment.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with GaN and SiC power FET driving requirements.
• Knowledge of advanced multi-chip module (MCM) packaging and SiP (System-in-Package) design.

Responsibilities

• Define and architect high-voltage gate drivers, IPM protection circuits, and integrated silicon capacitor structures.
• Perform transistor-level design, simulation, and verification of complex analog and mixed-signal power blocks.
• Lead the integration of passive silicon capacitors into advanced multi-chip modules and system-in-package topologies.
• Provide technical guidance, code reviews, and design verification oversight to junior and mid-level engineering staff.
• Drive the execution of the IC development lifecycle from schematic capture and layout supervision through tape-out.
• Partner with product and test engineering to characterize, debug, and validate first-silicon in the lab.
