• Translate product and top-level chip requirements into detailed block specifications architecture decisions circuit implementations and verification plans. 
• Perform block-level error budgeting and system-level trade-off analysis across performance area power cost robustness and manufacturability. 

Converter & Control Loop Design 

• Independently architect and design complete switching converters including buck boost and buck-boost converters as well as LDOs and point-of-load devices. 
• Demonstrate deep understanding of analog feedback loops control-loop stability compensation implementation and trade-offs across compensation strategies. 
• Evaluate control architectures such as constant-frequency constant-on-time constant-off-time voltage-mode and current-mode control and select the appropriate approach for product requirements. 
• Ensure robust converter performance across process voltage temperature load line startup shutdown and fault conditions. 

Verification Silicon & Production Support 

• Drive analog verification and simulation strategy across schematic extracted pre-layout and post-layout environments. 
• Optimize simulation setups based on speed convergence accuracy and parasitic conditions and resolve simulator model and tool-related challenges. 
• Own or support silicon validation characterization debug qualification production readiness and root-cause analysis for silicon issues. 
• Collaborate with product engineering test engineering applications reliability and manufacturing teams across the complete product lifecycle. 

Physical Design Reliability & Sign-off 

• Collaborate closely with layout engineers from floor planning through chip-top completion extraction verification and tape-out. 
• Guide layout trade-offs related to matching noise parasitics isolation current density electromigration IR drop thermal behavior and high-current operation. 
• Demonstrate strong understanding of ESD latch-up I/O-ring protection and other IC-level reliability requirements. 
• Review physical implementation and extracted performance to ensure the design meets electrical yield reliability and manufacturability targets. 

Technical Leadership & Methodology 

• Drive analog design methodology checklists design reviews reusable IP practices and quality standards from concept through silicon success. 
• Lead technical reviews and provide clear architecture design verification risk and sign-off assessments to project leadership. 
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through architecture reviews circuit design simulation strategy layout collaboration and silicon debug. 
• Influence product architecture and technical roadmap decisions through demonstrated technical depth while operating as a senior individual contributor rather than a formal people manager. 

Qualifications :

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Electronics Engineering or a related discipline. 

• 12 years of relevant experience in analog mixed-signal or power-management IC design. 

• Demonstrated ownership of complex analog IP converter subsystems or complete smaller ICs from architecture through silicon and production. 

• Deep hands-on expertise in PMICs switching regulators LDOs charge pumps and complex analog IP development. 

• Strong understanding of analog feedback loops control-loop compensation stability analysis and converter-architecture trade-offs. 

• Experience with references op-amps comparators buffers level shifters oscillators sensors current sensing ADCs and protection circuitry. 

• Experience with industry-standard schematic design simulation extraction and post-layout verification flows and tools. 

• Strong understanding of analog layout effects parasitics matching noise reliability ESD latch-up and IC-level robustness. 

• Experience taking products through design verification tape-out silicon validation debug qualification support and production release. 

• Proven ability to establish design methodology lead technical reviews mentor engineers and influence cross-functional decisions without requiring formal people-management authority. 

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across global multisite and multicultural teams. 

• Self-driven results-oriented and able to deliver high-quality designs under tight schedules with limited supervision.
