Join the Power Systems Group (PSG) Technologist Team, where analog design meets technology leadership and future-defining innovation. This is not a traditional IC design role. You will operate at the intersection of deep analog expertise and system-level vision, driving the exploration and enablement of next-generation (H2/H3) technologies across Power, Supervisors, Functional Safety, and Protection ICs.

As a Staff Engineer, you will:

Shape architectures that will define future product lines

Translate system challenges in industrial automation and robotics into silicon innovation

Bridge early-stage technology exploration to real-world product impact

Responsibilities

Lead architecture definition and transistor-level design of advanced analog and mixed-signal ICs, with focus on power, supervision, and protection systems

Explore and prototype emerging H2/H3 technologies, including:

Functional Safety-enabled IC architectures

Intelligent protection and diagnostics

High-reliability, high-performance power solutions

Translate system-level requirements (robotics, industrial automation, safety systems) into scalable IC architectures

Drive innovation from concept to enablement, including early silicon, demonstrators, and reference platforms

Contribute to functional safety architectures, including diagnostic concepts, redundancy strategies, and safety mechanisms

Mentor engineers and elevate organizational capability in advanced analog design and system thinking

Own transistor-level design of analog and mixed-signal blocks (e.g., amplifiers, references, ADC/DAC front-ends, bias circuits, oscillators, regulators).

Lead design reviews, verification reviews, and silicon correlation activities.

Support layout, test, validation, lab debug, measurement correlation, data review, and documentation for first-silicon bring-up.

Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

Strong experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design (typically 7–10+ years)

Proven expertise in one or more domains:

Power management (LDO, DC-DC, drivers)

Supervisor and protection circuits

High-voltage or high-reliability IC design

Deep understanding of:

Transistor-level design, simulation, and silicon validation

Noise, stability, matching, reliability, and parasitics

Experience with Cadence design tools (Virtuoso) and lab evaluation

Strong plus:

Experience in Functional Safety (IEC 61508 / ISO 26262)

Exposure to industrial, robotics, or automotive systems

System-level thinking and ability to bridge architecture - circuit implementation
