Job Responsibility: Translates product specification and system requirements into Design requirements/Specifications. Drive and develop activities associated with the development of Digital design of switching converters like buck, boost, and resonant ones like LLC. IC leader designer responsible for Digital IC design from concept to release to market. Responsible for evaluating concepts, defining requirements, design planning, designing circuits, verification, documentation, and validation. Support the Bench validation, debug activities, and customer support on the products. Create technical documents needed for the life cycle of the IP/Products like verification plans, validation plans, etc. Ability to work across different products, including the development of low power/high frequency digital IP using sub-micron CMOS technologies. Key Challenges: Demonstrated strong digital design skills. Capable of designing high-performance digital circuits to meet specified requirements. Expertise in the design of Digital integrated circuits required such as regulators, low offset amplifiers, and comparators, offset cancellation technique, etc. in sub-micron CMOS technologies. Demonstrated expertise in Low Power circuits as well as high frequency digital circuits. Cross Functional Aspects: Interface regularly with local and remote designers, product and test engineers, program manager, and the product definer to understand the product, design/debug the IC, and the final product as one team. Support/Mentorship/Coaching of junior digital designers. Job Qualification: MS or higher in Electrical Engineering or equivalent discipline required. 10+ years of relevant experience in Digital Circuit Design. Strong analytical and debugging skills.
