Candidate must be self-motivated individual to contribute to the evolution of Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuits, covering PMICs (Low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulators, Switching regulators, DC-DC Buck Converters), ADC/DAC, PLL, Gate Drivers, and PMIC chip integration). As a Senior level tech lead, you'll play a crucial role in design and development of Power management ICs from concepts into release to production, collaborating closely with other circuit designers, and leveraging sophisticated tools.  

This role will report to the VP of Engineering. 

Responsibilities: 

In this role, you will be responsible for the design and development of high-performance analog circuits for PMICs used in a range of applications. 

  • Collaborate with other engineers to define and implement design methodologies and best practices for PMIC design and related areas. 
  • Plan and lead a group of designers in implementation of commercial product. 
  • Work with multi-disciplinary teams including R&D, systems, testing to implement new ideas and in writing the specifications, design, characterization, verification and documentation.  
  • Summarize and interpret results of highly complex performance checks and review it with team. 
  • Use problem solving skills, experience, and supervise the layout circuit designers. Guide them with floor planning and in resolving DRC/LVS errors.  
  • Behavior and transistor level circuit design, simulation and verification of power management blocks including LDO, Switch Mode Power Supplies (buck, boost), voltage reference and other analog circuits meeting power, performance and area specifications. 
  • Work closely with PCB layout engineers to ensure performance and quality of the designs.  
  • Work with team on best packaging approach for design and test.  
  • Datasheet drafting and reviews. 
  • Work with product managers to develop the next generation of products. 

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with 8+ years of overall experience in analog/mixed signal IC Design. 
  • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and their impact on analog circuit design. Experience is designing circuits in High voltage (BCD) technology processes and FinFET technology (like 12nm and below) is preferred. 
  • Strong background in Power Management devices and circuit design principles, Buck Converters Architecture & Design, Mixed Signal Design, Gate Drivers, PLL & Clock Chip Design. 
  • Must have released at least one full IC design from Concept to release to production. 
  • Good knowledge in device physics and device reliability analysis. 
  • Proficiency in using Cadence IC Design Tools. 
  • Familiarity with industry standard interface protocols such as SPI, I2C, PMBus/SMBus. 
  • Ability to document design techniques, test and verification methodology. 
  • Conduct design reviews, analyze and debug circuits, and perform system-level testing to validate performance and ensure compliance with specifications. 
  • Full chip integration and Top-Level Simulations. 
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug complex issues. 
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in a team environment.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
