Power IC Design Engineer – IVR & GaN/SiC Innovation

Navitas Semiconductor Usa; Torrance (CA); Presencial; USD 110.000 - 135.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Navitas Semiconductor Usa in Torrance, CA seeks a Power IC Design Engineer to join the IVR design team. You will design, simulate, verify, and characterize high-performance power-management ICs and integrated voltage regulators throughout the full product cycle.

This role suits a recent graduate or early-career engineer with a strong foundation in analog circuits and power electronics, collaborating with designers, layout, and test teams to deliver robust IVR solutions.

Formación

• MS degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; PhD preferred.
• Strong transistor-level design experience in DC-DC converters and power management.
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso or equivalent tools; familiarity with GaN/BCD processes optional.

Responsabilidades

• Design and simulate analog and power-management circuits for integrated DC-DC converters and IVRs.
• Support development of synchronous buck converters, power stages, gate drivers, control loops, protection circuits, and supporting analog blocks.
• Analyze power MOSFET characteristics including RDS(on), gate charge, switching loss, conduction loss, COSS/QOSS, and device FoM.
• Perform schematic-level and post-layout simulations across PVT corners and Monte Carlo conditions.
• Evaluate converter performance including efficiency, transient response, stability, ripple, switching behavior, and power loss.
• Support selection and optimization of power devices in BCD/CMOS/GaN technologies.
• Support extraction and review of post-layout parasitics and evaluate their impact on circuit performance.
• Assist with silicon bring-up, bench characterization, debugging, and correlation between simulation and measurement.
• Document design calculations, simulation results, design reviews, and characterization results.
• Collaborate with package, systems, applications, and test teams to optimize overall IVR performance.
