As a System Architect, you will shape the future of high-power controller ICs by driving architectural innovation, influencing product strategy, and enabling revenue growth through high-performance solutions.
Define and own the comprehensive system-level architecture of next-generation high-power ICs, including control, telemetry, and embedded memory.
Collaborate across teams, including system application engineers, product definers, marketing, and planners, to set project goals and timelines.
Develop and maintain system models for use by application, design, verification, and evaluation teams.
Lead architecture reviews for the product development teams and stakeholder groups and make enhancements based on feedback.
Drive the product development lifecycle, managing requirements, executing circuit design, identifying issues, and recommending solutions.
Derive block-level performance targets from higher-level design specifications.
Apply formal design and verification techniques, tools, and methodologies to produce efficient designs which meet specified objectives.
Function as the chip lead for projects and perform chip floor planning to guide layout engineers during physical implementation.
Evaluate the physical implementation of design blocks by layout engineers to ensure the physical design meets performance and reliability metrics.
Perform analog and mixed signal circuit analysis, design, simulation, verification, and evaluation supporting the design products and the successful integration of design blocks into larger systems.
Support lab evaluation and debugging of hardware emulation or engineering prototypes of integrated circuits.
Engage with customer teams to drive adoption of new topologies.
Participate in conferences (internal and external) to lead topology advancement and monitor industry developments.
PhD with 5+ years (or MSEE with 8+ years) of relevant work experience.
Demonstrated experience in architecting and designing Power ICs.
Solid understanding of CMOS and BCD process technology, including device structure, operation, matching, and parasitic concerns.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills and experience preparing and delivering technical presentations and design reviews.
Familiarity with Cadence IC design environment and SIMPLIS or similar behavioral simulation environment.
Experience with emulation platforms, laboratory equipment, and measurement techniques.
Experience with high voltage (>100V) power ICs, GaN or SiC technologies (preferred).
