Director, Analog Design

onsemi is seeking a Director, Analog Design, in Power Management group, to join our growing team in Limerick Ireland. This group is responsible for development of Power management products including DC-DC PMIC/POL, Multiphase controllers, Dr. MOS, AC-DC converters, LED drivers, SiC drivers, Switches and efuses for consumer, industrial and automotive applications.

In this role, you will focus on the following. Manage, hire, and mentor a diverse team of experienced and junior Analog IC design engineers. Lead, motivate, provide training, and create career growth opportunities for the team. Collaborate with overseas design and systems teams on technical aspects, IP development, 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 designs, control loops, and digital interfaces.

Define the overall product strategy and roadmap in alignment with the company's objectives, market trends, and customer needs. Understand technical aspects, best practices, and design methodologies for power management IC designs. 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.

Collaborate closely with the Systems team to understand system requirements and specification tradeoffs. Work with cross-functional teams on program management, technology, product, test, packaging, and applications teams at all project phases. Identify, recommend, and implement new systems, tools, processes, and technologies to improve design, reuse organizational processes and decision-making.

Qualifications
