Director, Analog Design

onsemi is seeking a Director, Analog Design, in Power Management group, to join our growing team in Limerick Ireland. This group is responsible for development of Power management products including DC-DC PMIC/POL, Multiphase controllers, Dr. MOS, AC-DC converters, LED drivers, SiC drivers, Switches and efuses for consumer, industrial and automotive applications. In this role, you will focus on the following.

• Manage, hire, and mentor a diverse team of experienced and junior Analog IC design engineers.
• Lead, motivate, provide training, and create career growth opportunities for the team.
• Collaborate with overseas design and systems teams on technical aspects, IP development, sharing of know-how.
• Provide technical leadership in driving architecture design and circuit design based on high-level specifications.
• Own technical outcome of design, verification, implementation, and execution of Power Management ICs with complexities that can span from simple regulators to complex designs, control loops, and digital interfaces.
• Define the overall product strategy and roadmap in alignment with the company's objectives, market trends, and customer needs.
• Understand technical aspects, best practices, and design methodologies for power management IC designs.
• Understand project goals, create a realistic schedule and resource plan, track execution schedule to plan, monitor progress, and provide full clarity to the team on the goals and objectives.
• Collaborate closely with the Systems team to understand system requirements and specification tradeoffs.
• Work with cross-functional teams on program management, technology, product, test, packaging, and applications teams at all project phases.
• Identify, recommend, and implement new systems, tools, processes, and technologies to improve design, reuse organizational processes and decision-making.

Qualifications:

• BS in Electrical Engineering or related + 18 years of experience, or MS + 15 years of experience.
• Solid track record of releasing complex ICs to market.
• Extensive knowledge of engineering processes, principles, and methodologies.
• Goal and outcome-focused with the ability to handle multiple projects within the team.
• Ability to attract and retain key engineering talent.
• Experience in simplifying complex problems into smaller problems and solving them as a team.
• Ability to clearly articulate issues, challenges, and concerns to all levels of management.
• Solid understanding of various Power Converters such as multiphase converter, current sense amplifier, SAR ADC, Buck, Boost, LDOs, and relevant Analog building blocks.
• Solid understanding of topologies and architectures for Constant-on-time, Peak, and Valley Current/Voltage Mode control mechanism, Hysteretic, Multi-Phase Controllers, and Smart Power Stages.
• Strong Analog IC design skills, debug of complex silicon problems using simulations and/or bench testing.
• Familiarity with advanced Bipolar, CMOS, and High Voltage BCD technology, Process, Device Physics, Semiconductor Manufacturing processes, and their impact on Analog performance.
• understanding of large power transistor (LDMOS) Design, Layout, and Robustness.
• Proficiency in leading-edge design and verification tools such as Simplis or MATLAB for architectural simulations, Cadence Spectre for schematic capture, simulation, layout, and tape-out.
• Solid understanding of DC-DC PMIC/POL, Multiphase controllers, Dr. MOS, AC-DC converters, LED drivers, SiC devices and SiC drivers.
