• Experience leading development of switching converters or audio systems.
• Ability to lead a team and deliver chip-level solutions with cross-functional collaboration.
• Experience in chip-level verification including AMS and DMS.
• Strong competence with Cadence and Cadence-based flows.
• Able to share expertise and mentor less experienced members.
• Wamiliarity with international travel and multi-site collaboration.
• Excellent verbal and written English.

Responsibilities

• Design and verify analog blocks to meet performance, area, power, and timescale constraints.
• Take technical leadership of full-chip or major system blocks from specification to production ramp.
• Collaborate with analogue and digital leads to drive strategy and layout.
• Produce high-quality documentation for designed circuits.
• Work with DFT teams to align to DFT strategy and implementation.
• Lead silicon debugging and design characterization.
• Support test development and ramp to production with test engineers.
• Mentor team members and drive consistent methodology across the group.
• Translate customer requirements into design specifications and solutions.
