Principal PMIC Design Engineer

Role Overview

• Lead IC design projects from initial concept through production release, focusing on power electronics and mixed‑signal domains.
• Define system architectures and specifications for analog, digital, and mixed‑signal blocks used in handset, fixed wireless access, and infrastructure power management applications.
• Perform circuit‑level and system‑level simulations (Spectre, VerilogA, Verilog‑AMS, etc.) to validate functionality, efficiency, and reliability.
• Drive mixed‑signal simulation flows integrating analog circuit blocks with digital control logic and firmware models.
• Optimize designs for efficiency, thermal performance, EMI/EMC compliance, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with layout engineers to ensure physical design meets performance targets and complies with design rules.
• Guide verification, characterization, and validation teams to ensure designs meet requirements across process corners, temperature, and voltage ranges.
• Lead technical reviews, mentor engineers, and support skill development across the design team.
• Interface with product management, applications engineers, and customers to translate requirements into robust IC solutions.
• Stay current with advancements in semiconductor technology, modeling techniques, and design methodologies.

Requirements

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of IC design experience, with emphasis on power electronics (e.g., PMICs, DC‑DC converters, gate drivers, motor drivers).
• Proven experience leading mixed‑signal IC design, including simulation at transistor and behavioral levels.
• Demonstrated leadership in taking IC products from design through tape‑out and into high‑volume manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics and analog/digital circuit design principles.
• Expertise in Cadence Virtuoso, Maestro, Spectre, or equivalent tools.
• Fluent in Verilog‑AMS / VHDL‑AMS for mixed‑signal modeling.
• Experience with power architecture design and integration in IC form.
• Knowledge of layout‑related parasitic and their impact on high‑power/high‑voltage circuits.
• Familiarity with design for EMI/EMC, thermal management, and ESD protection.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous Paid Time Off including paid holidays and floating holidays.
• 401(k) employer match on retirement planning.
• Hybrid working schedule for eligible positions.
• Tuition reimbursement on approved programs.
• Flexible and health spending accounts.
• Talent Development program.
