Principal Analog IC Design Lead - Custom PMIC & Mixed-Signal
Job Description
This isn't a role for someone who wants to follow a roadmap — it's for someone who wants to write one .\n\nYou'll lead cross-functional design teams, interface directly with Tier-1 customers, and contribute hands-on to transistor-level design — all while building a culture of technical excellence and design quality that sets the standard for the industry.\n\n️ Key Responsibilities\n\nDirect, guide, and hands-on participate in designing, developing, and evaluating complex analog/mixed-signal ICs — including PMICs, LDOs, switching regulators, charge pumps, ADCs, DACs, amplifiers, bandgaps, and comparators\nLead cross-functional teams — making assignments, setting design schedules, monitoring progress, and managing scarce project resources with precision\nOwn block/project end-to-end — from architecture definition and circuit design through silicon evaluation, validation, and production transfer\nConduct worst-case analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and post-layout parasitic extraction to ensure all IC-level performance metrics are met\nCollaborate with physical layout designers , providing guidance on routing trade-offs, signal grounding, and die area optimization\nWork closely with Design Verification, Validation, Product Engineering, and Test Engineering teams to ensure smooth pre-PG completion and production handoff\nPartner with Systems, Applications, and Marketing teams to define product specs, prepare datasheets, application notes, and contribute to roadmap creation\nLead and manage customer interactions — representing TI's technical capabilities in direct customer meetings with Tier-1 mobile OEMs\nActively participate in hiring, mentoring, and developing engineering talent within the team\n\n'05; Required Skills\n\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field\n5–15 years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design with demonstrated team leadership\nProven expertise in transistor-level design of analog building blocks: amplifiers, bandgaps, comparators, LDOs, charge pumps, ADCs, DACs, switching regulators\nStrong command of SPICE/Spectre simulation and working knowledge of Cadence CAD toolset\nAbility to perform hand analysis (pen-and-paper) as well as simulation-driven design validation\nTrack record of mentoring and guiding teams through complex IC programs on aggressive schedules\nExperience with IC system partitioning, signal chain analysis, and architectural trade-off analysis\nSelf-directed with full block/project ownership capability — from spec to silicon to production\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills ; comfortable in customer-facing technical meetings\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\nDeep expertise in BCD process technologies for power IC design\nExperience with VHDL, co-simulation (Cosim) , and top-down IC design methodologies\nStrong understanding of semiconductor IC processing, advanced packaging, and production test solutions\nBackground in IC physical layout management — routing trade-offs, grounding strategies, die area optimization\nExperience with top-level simulation, block-level modeling , and system-level verification\nKnowledge of mixed-signal IC design for mobile applications — camera PMICs, display power, charger ICs\nFamiliarity with production yield targets, testability, and design-for-test (DFT) considerations\nProven ability to work directly with Tier-1 customers in joint product definition and qualification cycles\n\nWhy Join Texas Instruments?\n\nWork on the Chips Inside the World's Most Iconic Devices TI's Custom Product Business serves the global Tier-1 mobile electronics market. Your designs will power devices seen, used, and trusted by hundreds of millions of people worldwide.\n\nTechnical Depth + Leadership Opportunity This role is rare — it demands both hands-on analog design mastery and team leadership capability. TI rewards engineers who can do both, with clear paths to Senior Engineer, Lead Engineer, and Technical Fellow tracks.\n\nA Team That's Genuinely World-Class You'll be joining what we believe is the best custom semiconductor team on the planet — a group defined by ingenuity, ambition, and a relentless drive to deliver.\n\nReal Ownership, Real Accountability From customer interaction to silicon tape-out, you'll have complete program ownership — the kind of responsibility that accelerates careers.\n\nCompetitive Compensation TI offers market-leading salaries, long-term incentives, comprehensive benefits, and the financial stability of a global Fortune 500 semiconductor leader.\n\nCulture of Learning & Mentorship TI invests deeply in its people — with structured mentorship, technical development programs, and a culture that values both growing and giving back.\n\nCall to Action\n\nGreat analog engineers are rare.
Great analog leaders who can also mentor, own programs, and win with customers are extraordinary.\n\nIf that's you — Apply now.
