• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical / Computer Engineering or equivalent
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience in analog circuit and power supply design for consumer electronics and/or embedded systems
• Strong EE fundamentals (analog and digital design, signal/power integrity, etc)
• Excellent written and verbal communication/presentation skills
• Comfortable in a lab environment using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.

• Expert knowledge of low voltage power regulation and delivery with an emphasis on the design and validation of high efficiency DC-DC switched mode power supplies.
• Experience using simulation and analysis tools such as Spice and 2D/3D field solvers for simulation of power supplies and power distribution networks.
• Hands-on experience in prototyping, bring-up, debug and validation
• Schematic capture and rigid/flexible PCB layout
• Ability to analyze solutions and make system design trade-offs
• Demonstrated ability to understand technology and debug problems at varying levels of abstraction, from the system-level down to the silicon/transistor level
• Understanding of design and validation requirements for common interfaces (e.g. I2C, SPI, JTAG, I2S) and preferably high-speed interfaces (e.g. USB, MIPI, PCIe, HDMI, DP, Thunderbolt, DDR Memory, Ethernet)
• Knowledge of consumer electronics battery charging applications, USB-C PD, and wireless charging is a plus.
