- Determine IC architecture and circuit-level specifications based on product and platform requirements.
- Be actively involved in architecture implementation, simulation, transistor-level circuit design, and verification.
- Oversee layout execution, silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug.
- Use design tools such as Cadence ADE, Spectre, MathWorks MATLAB, Verilog/Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog, and Simplis.
- Provide deep technical expertise to support next-generation power management IC development.
- Execute architecture implementation, circuit design, and verification of complex IC blocks using specified tools.
- Own the design and verification strategy for assigned blocks within power management ICs.
- Guide layout engineers and conduct physical and reliability verification of circuits.
- Run advanced functionality and performance checks to ensure designs meet specifications.
- Interpret simulation, silicon characterization, and debug results, driving corrective design actions.
- Document detailed design intent, architectural decisions, circuit functionality, and silicon findings.
- Collaborate with validation, test, and product engineering teams for silicon bring-up and qualification.
- Maintain awareness of industry trends and advances in power management circuits.
- Provide technical guidance and informal mentoring to other engineers.
