You will play a key role in architecture definition, strategic technical contributions, and mentoring junior designers.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead the design and simulation of analog and mixed-signal blocks such as LDOs, bandgap references, amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, oscillators, charge pumps, and DC/DC converters.
• Drive top-level integration and supervise layout implementation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including digital design, layout, verification, test, and product engineering.
• Define system architecture and develop specifications for complex analog and mixed-signal circuits.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior designers, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
• Support silicon validation, characterization, and debugging, ensuring designs meet performance, power, area, and reliability targets.
• Contribute to the strategic technical direction and product roadmap for electrification solutions.

Your Profile

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design.
• Strong expertise in CMOS analog design and deep understanding of semiconductor device physics.
• Proficiency with EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, etc.) , scripting (Python, SKILL) and modelling (Matlab).
• Experience with the full design flow: from specification to silicon validation.
• Proven track record of technical leadership and strategic contributions.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in automotive or power management applications.
• Familiarity with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262).
• Knowledge of advanced process technologies (e.g., BCD, SOI, HV CMOS).
• Experience with circuits for battery management systems (BMS), DC-DC converters, gate drivers.

What We Offer

Work on cutting-edge technologies in a global, innovative environment.
Dynamic and collaborative workplace with a strong focus on innovation.
