Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Lead (PMIC)
Job Description
Job Description Role Overview As the Design Lead, you will spearhead the design and development of high-performance PMIC products.
You will lead a multidisciplinary team to define chip architectures, oversee mixed-signal implementation, and ensure successful tape-outs that meet aggressive performance and schedule targets.
Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership
Direct and participate in the full IC development lifecycle, including research, design, and evaluation of PMIC products.
Architecture &Specification
Define system-level architectures and write detailed specifications for analog and mixed-signal blocks such as LDOs , Buck/Boost converters , and Battery Management systems.
Design & Verification
Lead full-chip integration and top-level simulations; drive verification strategies to ensure design completeness across all process corners.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with Digital Design , Verification , Layout , and Test Engineering teams to resolve complex trade-offs between power, area, and performance.
Silicon Debug & Characterization
Lead post-silicon validation, bench correlation, and root-cause analysis during debug phases to ensure production readiness.
Required Qualifications Education
Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on power electronics or microelectronics.
Experience
10 years of relevant IC design experience , with a proven track record of releasing multiple PMIC products into high-volume manufacturing.
Technical Expertise
Expertise in analog/mixed-signal blocks
Bandgaps, OP-Amps, high-efficiency switching regulators, and data converters (ADC/DAC).
Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre) and modeling languages (Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog).
Process Knowledge
Good understanding of BCD process technologies Strong grasp of semiconductor device physics and design for EMI/EMC and ESD protection.
Preferred Skills Familiarity with digital control architectures and industry-standard protocols
