At MPS, we cultivate creativity, are passionate about sustainability, and are committed to providing leading-edge products and innovation to our customers. Our portfolio of technology helps power our world ---come join our team and see how YOU can make a difference.

Job Description:

Role Overview

Lead the architecture, design, and development of next-generation Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC). Own the full product lifecycle independently-from specification definition and transistor-level design to silicon bring-up and mass production support. Drive technical innovation and mentor junior engineers to elevate team capabilities.

Impact & Leadership

Technical Authority: Define roadmaps for high-efficiency power conversion systems, solving complex challenges in topology, control loops, and thermal performance. End-to-End Ownership: Take full responsibility for tape-out success, yield enhancement, and reliability validation. Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Packaging, Process, and System teams to co-optimize solutions for maximum power density and efficiency. Mentorship: Guide and review the work of junior designers, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Responsibilities:

• Architecture & Definition: Lead product specification definition, architecture selection, and process node evaluation for new PMIC families.
• Advanced Circuit Design: Architect and implement critical circuit blocks from transistor level to system level, ensuring robustness across PVT corners and high-volume manufacturing readiness.
• Verification Strategy: Define comprehensive simulation plans, corner cases, and verification methodologies to guarantee first-pass silicon success.
• Layout & Integration: Direct physical layout implementation, enforcing strict matching, symmetry, and parasitic control strategies.
• Silicon Bring-up & Debug: Lead post-silicon characterization, root-cause analysis of failures, and performance optimization.
• Production & Yield: Collaborate with Test and Product engineers to develop production test plans, optimize test time, and drive yield improvement initiatives.
• Innovation & IP: Propose novel circuit ideas, drive IP creation and file patents.
• Documentation: Author definitive application notes, guidelines, data sheets, and related materials.

Qualifications:

• Education & Experience Degree: Master's or Ph.D. degree.
• Major: Electrical Engineering (EE) or Microelectronics.
• Experience: 5+ years of proven experience in Power Management IC design (Analog/Mixed-Signal).
• Track Record: Demonstrated success in taking multiple chips from concept to high-volume mass production.

Skills & Competencies

• Technical Foundation: Deep understanding of analog/mixed-signal IC design, semiconductor physics, and IC design flows.
• Power Expertise: Expert-level knowledge of power systems, including topologies, control schemes, stability analysis and compensation techniques.
• Problem Solving: Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex silicon issues (e.g., stability, noise, EMI, thermal) without precedents.
• Leadership & Communication: Excellent communication skills with the ability to lead cross-functional teams and present technical strategies to stakeholders.
• Time Management: Strong organizational skills ensuring on-time project delivery in a fast-paced environment as a design lead.
• Tool Mastery: Expert proficiency in industry-standard EDA tools for circuit design and verification, better to have capability of scripting for automation.
