Analog IC Design Engineer | Audio AAA

About the roleDesign high-efficiency Class D power output stages for automotive and consumer audio amplifier products. You will own the switching power path from architecture through silicon validation, including gate drivers, H-bridge and BTL output stages, dead-time control, and protection circuits in high-volume production ICs. Products include both monolithic power stages and multi-chip module GaN based solutions. ResponsibilitiesArchitect and design Class D power output stages: H-bridge and BTL configurations, gate drivers, charge pumps, level shifters, dead-time control, and shoot-through protectionDesign high-voltage switching circuits with focus on efficiency, thermal performance, and EMI complianceDevelop transistor-level schematics in Cadence Virtuoso and verify performance across PVT corners using SPICE simulationCollaborate with systems, layout, and applications engineers to meet audio performance specifications (THD+N, IMD, SNR, PSRR, idle channel noise) and power delivery targetsAnalyze and resolve design issues from prototype through production qualification, including EMI/EMC characterization and LC filter optimizationContribute to IP reuse strategy and design methodology improvementsMentor junior engineers on analog design fundamentals, simulation best practices, and design-for-manufacturing techniquesProvide technical leadership within the design team: guide design reviews, drive architecture decisions, and establish standards for schematic quality and documentationChange the world. Love your job. Designers bring semiconductors to life by defining, developing and/or modifying analog and mixed signal electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry. They work with other designers and the broader R&D and demand creation teams to align on approaches and parameters for a given device, creating block level specifications for the designs. They take the designs through the concept, implementation in schematic and supervising layout, followed by tape out to the fab. They also support silicon validation, test, qualification for reliability, and finally ramp to mass production. Designers also conduct tests and analyze data to ensure the chosen methods are optimal for the defined specifications and reliability requirements.Why TI?Engineer your future.
