Apply AI/ML techniques to enhance design automation, optimization, and modeling workflows

Execute designs from schematic capture through simulation, layout oversight, and post-layout verification

Perform parasitic-aware simulation, power-stage optimization, and design centering across process corners and operating conditions

Optimize transient response, loop bandwidth, and load regulation through iterative simulation and bench correlation

Support silicon bring-up, debug, and correlation of measured results against simulation predictions

Collaborate with design teams on architecture trade-offs across efficiency, area, EMI, reliability, and cost

Required Skills and Experience

MSEE with 7+ years of power IC design experience, or PhD with 5+ years (BSEE with equivalent depth considered)

Strong transistor-level design skills for high-performance power management circuits

Demonstrated ability to deliver power IC designs through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release

Solid understanding of BCD, HV-CMOS, and power FET process technologies, including high-voltage device physics and safe operating area constraints

Proficiency with Cadence IC design suite: Virtuoso, Spectre/APS, and power-stage simulation environments

Experience with control loop design, compensation techniques, and stability analysis for switching and linear regulators

Fluent in Mandarin; strong English written and verbal communication skills for cross-site collaboration

Ability to collaborate effectively across global, cross-functional teams

Preferred Qualifications

Curiosity and initiative to explore AI/ML techniques and emerging tools that can transform design workflows, with an enthusiasm for discovering more effective ways of working

Experience with magnetics modeling, inductor/transformer co-design, and system-level power delivery network analysis

Knowledge of thermal analysis, package-level power dissipation modeling, and EMI/EMC mitigation techniques

Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities

Technical Scope

Block-level and subsystem-level power IC circuit ownership from specification through silicon bring-up

Efficiency optimization, loss analysis, and thermal management across switching and linear power conversion topologies

Reliability assessment including electromigration, hot-carrier injection, and high-voltage stress effects on power devices

Design-for-manufacturing and yield optimization through Monte Carlo analysis and statistical design centering

Collaboration and Impact

Work closely with global design teams across multiple time zones to understand customer requirements and translate them into circuit specifications

Contribute to design reviews and cross-team technical discussions

Support evaluation of new process capabilities and identify opportunities for circuit improvement
