- 7+ years of hands-on experience in power electronics or power management IC applications engineering
- Strong working knowledge of DC-DC converter topologies and LDO regulators, including compensation and control-loop design
- Demonstrated ability to independently debug complex power system issues in the lab, including noise, stability, and thermal performance
- Proficiency with PCB layout review, circuit simulation tools (e.g., SIMPLIS, LTspice), and standard lab equipment
- Track record of direct, successful customer engagement and technical ownership of design-in support
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with experience presenting to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Demonstrated capability to work independently while collaborating effectively across engineering, marketing, and sales functions
