Lead
About the role
- Architect and design Class D power output stages: H-bridge and BTL configurations, gate drivers, charge pumps, level shifters, dead-time control, and shoot-through protection
- Design high-voltage switching circuits with focus on efficiency, thermal performance, and EMI compliance
- Develop transistor-level schematics in Cadence Virtuoso and verify performance across PVT corners using SPICE simulation
- Collaborate with systems, layout, and applications engineers to meet audio performance specifications (THD+N, IMD, SNR, PSRR, idle channel noise) and power delivery targets
- Analyze and resolve design issues from prototype through production qualification, including EMI/EMC characterization and LC filter optimization
- Contribute to IP reuse strategy and design methodology improvements
- Mentor junior engineers on analog design fundamentals, simulation best practices, and design-for-manufacturing techniques
- Provide technical leadership within the design team: guide design reviews, drive architecture decisions, and establish standards for schematic quality and documentation
- Change the world. Love your job.
- MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)5-10+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience
- Demonstrated experience designing power output stages: gate drivers, H-bridge or BTL output configurations, dead-time control, and overcurrent/thermal protection
- Strong understanding of high-voltage switching behavior, GaN/MOSFET/LDMOS device physics, and parasitic-aware design techniques
- Experience with EMI mitigation in switching amplifiers (spread-spectrum modulation, slew-rate control, edge-rate optimization)
- Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso schematic/simulation environment
- Experience taking designs from concept through tapeout and silicon bring-upPreferred qualifications: Signal-chain design experience: delta-sigma ADCs, DACs, or PWM/PDM switching modulators for audio-band applications
- Familiarity with sampled-data circuits, loop filter design, and quantizer architectures
- Experience with automotive-qualified products (AEC-Q100)
- Publications or patents in audio IC design or Class D amplifier techniques
- Leadership qualifications
- Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders critical to success, both internally and externally
- Ability to take ownership of everything in your world and drive solutions Mentorship of Jr engineers
- Strong verbal and written communication skillsAbility to quickly ramp on new systems and processes
- Demonstrated strong interpersonal, analytical and problem-solving skillsAbility to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
- Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
- Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
- Full time
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
