In this role, you will focus on the following:

• Mentor junior Analog IC design engineers
• Lead an Analog IC design team with product ownership and responsibility from definition to release to manufacturing.
• Make assignments for team members, provide design guidance as needed, develop schedules and monitor progress throughout the project.
• Evaluate intermediate and final results of projects during the design phase and during silicon evaluation, to ensure accomplishment of technical objectives.
• Work with and provide guidance to physical designers, and monitor the progress of IC layout.
• Work with systems engineers, application engineers, and marketing to prepare product briefs, datasheets, application notes. Assist in the definition of the products to meet customer needs as well as contributing to roadmap formulation and new concept creation.
• Define IP test plan and execution working along with product and test engineers.
• Define and manage IP quality standards for both industrial and automotive applications.
• Collaborate with validation, product engineering, and test engineering teams to enable successful transfer to production.
• Interface and lead discussions with the customer and/or ONsemi field sales/applications teams to understand customer designs, problems and support as required.
• Actively participate in hiring, developing, and evaluating personnel to ensure efficient operation of the organization and growth of the individuals into leaders.
• Lead, motivate, provide training, and create career growth opportunities for the team.
• Collaborate with overseas design and systems teams on technical aspects, IP development, and 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 analog and mixed-signal designs, control loops, and digital interfaces.
• 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.
