• Collaborate with system engineers to define product architecture and specifications, balancing performance, power, and cost requirements.
• Select and implement optimal circuit topologies, ensuring robustness, yield, and manufacturability.
• Conduct transistor-level design, simulation, and validation to meet functional and performance specifications.
• Work closely with layout engineers to optimize floor planning, parasitic, and overall silicon performance.
• Engage with global design teams, including colleagues in Asia, to align on development strategies and execution plans.
• Partner with test and characterization engineers to define validation methodologies, troubleshoot design issues, and optimize production test strategies.
• Drive technical reviews and documentation, presenting design decisions, analysis, and trade-offs to internal stakeholders.

Required Qualifications:

• A minimum of a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering
• 15+ years of engineering experience (or an equivalent amount of education and experience) working in the semiconductor industry
• 8+ years of experience in analog and mixed-signal Integrated circuit (IC) design, with DC-DC power converter architectures and control methodologies such as voltage mode control and current mode control
• Ability to communicate highly technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience working in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools such as EMIR tools capacitive coupling tools and flows, parasitic extraction tools, floating nodes, etc.
• Experience with production release of power management ICs

Preferred Qualifications:

• Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, Simplis, and ADS
• Hands-on lab experience supporting high frequency switching power supplies in the semiconductor power management industry

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $193,100 - $251,100, relevant for the California Bay Area (subject to change dependent on physical location)
