Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Lead (PMIC)
FINITETEK INC, San Mateo, CA, United States
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
