Power Management IC Design
$126,700 - $190,100 USD yearly
Originally posted 4 August 2026 by the employer — open 45 days.
About the role
This role involves the definition, design, verification, and documentation of mixed-signal integrated circuits and products in Power Management, with emphasis on controller ICs and integrated high-current power stage circuitry. The focus includes compute, data center, automotive, and industrial applications.
What you'll do
- Oversee definition, design, verification, and documentation of mixed-signal integrated circuits and products in Power Management.
- Determine IC architecture and circuit-level specifications based on product and platform requirements.
- Own the design and verification strategy for assigned blocks or subsystems within power management ICs.
- Guide layout engineers independently to generate high-quality layouts and conduct physical and reliability verification of circuits.
- Interpret simulation, silicon characterization, and debug results, driving corrective design actions.
- Document detailed design intent, architectural decisions, circuit functionality, and silicon findings for complex PMIC subsystems.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 4+ years of relevant IC Design experience; OR Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 2+ years of relevant IC Design experience; OR PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 2+ years of academic and/or work experience using CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL.
- Expertise in one or more of the following: power electronics (switch-mode and linear), control theory, mixed-signal circuit design, high-speed and high-drive circuits, power stage interfaces, electro-migration and transistor reliability, and behavioral modeling.
- Experience with design tools such as Cadence ADE, Spectre, MathWorks MATLAB, Verilog/Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog, Simplis.
Nice to have
- 3 years of experience in analog, mixed-signal or Power Management integrated circuit design experience with a Master's Degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering.
- Demonstrated experience in one or more of the following: Power Electronics, Control Theory, Multiphase Buck Controllers, High-Accuracy Analog Front Ends, High-Speed or High-Drive Circuits, Very Low Power or Precision References, Electro-Migration and Transistor Reliability, Behavioral Modeling, or Mixed-Signal Verification Techniques.
Skills: power management IC, switch-mode, linear regulators, control theory, multiphase buck controllers
