Job Description:

Analog Design EngineerBusiness Line DescriptionThe Advanced Power Systems (APS) product line develops innovative power management solutions for automotive applications. Our Power Management IC (PMIC) products, combined with NXP automotive microcontrollers and microprocessors, enable embedded control of Safety, Braking, Airbag, Power Management, Drivers & Energy Systems, ADAS, and Battery Management Systems. As an Analog Design Engineer with the APS product line, you will be working on the leading edge of automotive power management devices. You will be responsible for the design and verification of analog / power management circuits, as well as supporting your circuits through validation and release to production. Job Summary:

• Design analog, mixed signal, power management ICs for automotive power management applications.
• Transistor level circuit design: Mixed signal IC top level architecture design, circuit concept and topology selection, device sizing, pre- and post-layout circuit simulation, design reviews and documentation, analog layout guidance, and other cell design activities.
• Generate schematics and verification test benches to simulate the design against all sources of variations.
• Collaborate with layout engineers to create and validate the layout.
• Once the first prototype is available, measure the performance and support during the qualification phase, redesigning as needed to ensure the product meets specifications and fits the application.
• Interface with product definers and customers to understand the need of each block and function within the design.
• Provide technical innovation and leadership to power management IC developments; leading efforts to improve productivity and assure quality of design efforts.
• Must have strong expertise in analog design theory and device physics, capable of applying these to original and novel techniques that provide significant value.
• Other desirable skills are a working understanding of ESD and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) techniques and testing procedures;Key Challenges:
  • Implementing circuit topologies and architectures that meet state-of-the-art electrical performance over the lifetime stress of an automotive applications.
  • Implement circuit topologies and architectures that meet ASIL-D safety requirements for automotive mission critical applications. Cross functional aspects:
    • Technical collaboration with product definition, applications, product engineering, test engineering, packaging, manufacturing, modeling, quality, and CAD
    • Project planning and execution requires collaboration with program management and business teamJob Qualifications:
      • 6+ years of experience in analog, mixed signal, or power management circuit design
      • BSEE required; MSEE or PhD preferred
      • Strong expertise in analog design, power management circuit design, control theory, device physics
      • Understanding of core analog circuits such as bandgap references, current references, POR, comparators, amplifiers, IOs, level shifters, oscillators, PLLs, etc.
      • Understanding of power topologies such as buck, boost, buck-boost, charge pumps, LDOs.
      • Understanding of IC manufacturing process, able to guide layout engineer in best practices to achieve desired circuit performance in silicon.
      • Must have experience taking projects from the concept to production in high volume manufacturing
      • Must be able to work with cross functional teams, have good communication skills, able to operate in a global environment, collaborating with multiple partners in design, test, program management, and quality.
      • Experience in hands-on silicon validation.
      • Experience in automotive design (or other high reliability applications) is preferred.
      • Proficiency in using Cadence IC design flow required; experience with mixed-signal design tools such as Verilog AMS is a plus.Job location: Chandler, AZ
