About the Role
As a Principal Power IC Design Engineer, you will serve as a technical authority in the design and development of high-performance power management integrated circuits. You will drive architecture decisions and lead projects from concept through silicon validation, making critical technical tradeoffs across power conversion efficiency, thermal performance, and system integration. Your work will span multiple business units and directly shape semiconductor process development alongside the teams building ADI's next-generation power technologies.
Key Responsibilities
• Define and lead system-level architecture of power management ICs, including DC-DC converters (buck, boost, buck-boost), LDOs, charge pumps, gate drivers, power stages, and protection circuits
• Architect and design high-performance power circuit blocks at the transistor level, optimizing for efficiency, transient response, and thermal performance
• Lead architecture and design reviews, assessing trade-offs across efficiency, area, EMI, reliability, and cost
• Influence design flows, IP reuse strategies, and product roadmaps across multiple projects
• Drive parasitic-aware simulation, power-stage optimization, and design centering across process corners and operating conditions
• Oversee physical implementation of power blocks, ensuring layout meets electrical, thermal, and manufacturability targets
Required Skills and Experience
• MSEE with 10+ years of power IC design experience, or PhD with 8+ years (BSEE with equivalent depth considered)
• Proven expertise in transistor-level design of high-performance power management circuits
• Track record of leading power IC designs from concept through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release
• Deep 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
• Excellent presentation, technical writing, and communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience leveraging AI/ML techniques to enhance design automation, optimization, or modeling workflows
• 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
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment
Technical Scope
• Full-chip and subsystem-level power IC architecture 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
• Partner with product definition, applications, and marketing teams to translate customer needs into design specifications
• Evaluate new process capabilities and identify opportunities for circuit innovation
• Contribute to organizational knowledge through design reviews and cross-team technical forums
