• 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.
• Ensure robust converter performance across process, voltage, temperature, load, line, startup, shutdown, and fault conditions.
• Drive analog verification and simulation strategy across schematic, extracted, pre-layout, and post-layout environments.
• 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.
• 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.
