• Must be proficient in designing complete switching converters and all involved I/Ps. Should be fully aware of all challenges pertaining to high current/power switching converters design including Noise, Power dissipation etc and their mitigation.
• Should have a very good understanding of Power devices, operations and design trade-offs for better performance & reliability.
• Should be able to lead and guide development, integration of complex I/Ps like +ve/-ve Charge Pumps, Source-Sink LDOs, Ultra-low power Oscillators (including Relaxation type), Temperature Sensor, Current Sense, SAR ADCs, House Keeping blocks, Protection (Thermal, Under-Voltage, Over-Voltage, Over Current etc) and other analog blocks including Bandgap references, V2I, Analog Buffers, Op-Amps, Comparators, High speed level shifters etc. Thorough understanding of Switch Cap circuits is a must.
• Must have in-depth understanding of and should be able to choose, design & compensate Control loops keeping in mind the target performance.
• Must have done multiple silicon debugs, root cause analysis of issues, design to silicon correlation etc.
• Should be able to architect the IC and break down System/Chip-top level requirements into block level specifications and then work with Team members and develop the blocks, integrate the blocks into Top level and ensure desired performance.
• Must have good understanding of commonly used control loop architectures (Constant Freq, Constant ON/OFF Time, Current mode etc) and pros/limitations of each.
• Must be able to bring in innovative ideas to improve designs to meet challenging specifications and achieve better system performance.
• Should have in-depth knowledge of Analog layouts, FET layouts, Noise isolation techniques and be able to guide the layout development from floor planning till Chip Top completion and verification and do trade-offs based on desired performance.
• Must be conversant with the standard design, extraction and simulation flows & tools, speed, convergence, accuracy trade-offs and should be able to optimize setups based on Pre/Post (with/without) Parasitic using simulator options, debug and navigate through tool related challenges.
• Should be able to setup design flows and methodologies including checklists, reviews to ensure quality designs and take them all the way to Silicon success.
• Should be able to mentor Freshers and Junior engineers for upscaling their technical skills as well as other skills needed for better efficacy.
• Should have in-depth understanding of ESD, LU and other IC level issues and be able to define protection for the I/O ring for the IC

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering
• 15+ years in Analog Circuit Design.
