- Conduct feasibility study with transistor and behavior-level simulation
- Document the results toward final review
- Validate performance of circuits, modules, and systems using standard test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, network analyzers and VSA
Required Skills:
- PhD student in EE preferable or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience
- Solid understanding of analog and power IC design fundamentals and DC-DC converter architectures
- Design experience in DC-DC converters building blocks like hysteretic comparators, bandgap, opamp and switched-cap circuits
- Experience using GaN or BCD process is a plus
- Proficient using Cadence and ADS. Experience in Verilog A modelling is a plus
- Hands on experience using PMIC test equipment (signal generators, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, VSA etc.)
- Excellent verbal communication and technical writing skills
