Sr Principal Analog Design Engineer - DC DC Architect - Chandler (Office), United States
Originally posted 6 August 2026 by the employer — open 42 days.
About the role
This role involves leading the architecture, design, development, and validation of DC-DC converters and power management solutions within the Advanced Power Systems group. The focus is on PMICs for automotive and industrial applications.
What you'll do
- Define and drive system and circuit architectures for DC-DC converters and PMICs.
- Translate product and system requirements into analog and mixed-signal architectures and design strategies.
- Lead architecture exploration, topology selection, and design tradeoff analysis for various power solutions.
- Drive the design and development of critical analog and mixed-signal building blocks.
- Develop control architectures and power management schemes for optimized efficiency and performance.
- Ensure compliance with automotive and industrial requirements, including functional safety.
What you'll need
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- Minimum 12 years of experience in analog or mixed-signal IC design, with at least 5 years in a technical leadership or principal design role.
- Strong expertise in DC-DC converter architectures and control techniques (current-mode, voltage-mode, hysteretic, constant-on-time, digital-assisted control).
- Deep understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit design fundamentals.
- Proven experience designing automotive or industrial PMICs, voltage regulators, battery management, or power conversion products.
- Strong transistor-level design and simulation expertise using industry-standard EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens EDA.
Skills: DC-DC converters, PMICs, buck, boost, buck-boost, functional safety, analog mixed-signal architectures
