About the role

Power systems architect leading cross‑functional Mac system power delivery architecture, driving new product definitions and PMIC/DC-DC/AC-DC architectures to improve performance, power, thermal, size, and cost.

Responsibilities

  • Lead core architecture and technology investigations by evaluating options with technical rigor, optimizing power metrics such as system performance, efficiency, power density, cost, carbon footprint, and scalability.
  • Must be intimately familiar with DC-DC, DC-AC, and AC-DC voltage regulator topologies and architectures, magnetic design, PCB layout, and techniques for integration and efficiency optimization.
  • Define requirements for PMICs and collaborate with internal design teams and external vendors to deliver high-quality silicons on tight schedules.
  • Possess knowledge of mixed-signal silicon processes, methodologies, design tools, verification tools, and back-end flows.
  • Provide design simulations, calculations, and analytical models to predict design outcomes (control loop stability, transient responses, layout analysis, parasitics).
  • Perform and guide peak power measurements on device hardware to validate power models.
  • Author system architecture specifications and block diagrams; conduct reviews with product teams; align with internal SoC teams on future requirements.
  • Ensure smooth handoff of architectures to execution teams including risk assessments and proof-of-concept documentation.
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed.
