Analog designer for high-performance computing power management ICs, including DC-DC converters, multiphase regulators, and digitally controlled smart power stages.

• Architect and design power delivery ICs optimized for CPU, GPU, and ASIC platforms with high current density and fast transient performance.
• Provide technical leadership for SPS (Smart Power Stage) chip design — from concept through silicon validation.
• Drive innovation in analog power circuit design, including current sensing, gate drivers, protection circuits, and high current powertrain.
• Perform circuit-level simulations (Spectre, HSPICE, etc.) and silicon characterization to ensure designs meet electrical and thermal performance targets.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, layout, verification, and test teams to ensure robust and manufacturable silicon.
• Explore and adopt emerging technologies, including GaN/BCD processes, advanced packaging, and new topologies to enhance efficiency and power density.

• Education: MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Experience: 8+ years in power management IC design, including 3+ years’ design experience in high current DC-DCs, DrMOS/SPS, high-precision high-speed current sensing ICs.
• Proven expertise in high-performance computing power delivery IC design such as:
• High-current, low-voltage regulators for CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators.
• Integration of analog, digital and power circuits in BCD/GaN processes.
• Design/Layout integrated switching converters with low Ron and high efficiency.
• High current powertrain design/floorplan/layout and package development for Ron, efficiency and robustness optimization.
• High-precision fast-speed current sensing for SPS (Smart Power Stage).
• A hands‑on problem solver and good communicator.
