Principal /Sr Principal PMIC Analog Designer
About The Position
This role involves architecting, modeling, and defining sub-system specifications for advanced power management solutions. The designer will translate system-level specifications into silicon solutions, lead end-to-end design of power management circuits, and define architecture for global teams. The position also includes developing system and behavioral models, driving design reviews, serving as the PMIC technical lead for customers, and collaborating cross-functionally. Additionally, the role provides technical leadership for innovation strategy, driving differentiated innovation, and contributing to patentable solutions.
Requirements
- MS in Electrical Engineering with 12+ years of experience, or PhD with 10+ years of experience in power management IC development
- Proven expertise in power conversion topologies: Buck, boost, buck-boost, charge pumps, LDOs, and multi-phase architectures
- Strong understanding of control techniques: Current-mode, voltage-mode, hysteretic control, and loop compensation
- Deep experience in high-current power stage design, including advanced packaging and parasitic-aware design
- Expertise in power integrity modeling and analysis (frequency/time domain), simulation optimization, and silicon correlation
- Strong foundation in analog design, control theory, and device physics
- Demonstrated ability to develop novel architectures and drive innovation, including patent generation
- Hands-on experience with Cadence IC design tools (Virtuoso, Spectre) and modeling environments (MATLAB/Simulink)
- Proven track record of delivering products from concept to high-volume manufacturing
- Excellent communication skills and experience working with global cross-functional teams and Tier-1 customers
Responsibilities
- Architect, model, and define sub-system specifications for advanced power management solutions, including: DC-DC converters (inductive and capacitive), LDOs, shunt regulators, and multi-rail PMIC architectures
- Translate system-level specifications into elegant, robust, and cost-effective silicon solutions
- Lead end-to-end design of power management circuits, including: High-current power stages and advanced packaging-aware design, Loop stability, transient performance, and efficiency optimization
- Define architecture and provide detailed design specifications to global teams; lead and mentor junior design engineers
- Develop system and behavioral models (MATLAB/Simulink, Verilog-A/AMS) to validate architecture, loop stability, and system performance
- Drive and participate in critical design reviews and ensure design quality, robustness, and manufacturability
- Serve as the PMIC technical lead and primary interface to Tier-1 customers, driving technical discussions and alignment
- Collaborate cross-functionally with system, layout, product, test, packaging, and quality teams to ensure successful product execution
- Provide technical leadership for innovation strategy, including proposing and reviewing long-term roadmap and new architectures
- Drive differentiated innovation and contribute to patentable solutions for next-generation power management products
