Senior Director, PMIC & POL Design Engineering

onsemi is hiring a Senior Director to lead its PMIC (Power Management IC) and POL (Point-of-Load) product development. You will set the technical direction and run day-to-day execution for a global team of analog, mixed-signal, digital and layout engineers spread across four sites.

You will own each product from start to finish: defining it with Marketing and Systems, then leading architecture, design, verification, tape-out, silicon validation, qualification and release to production. You will be accountable for schedule, quality, cost and first-pass silicon success. The role combines deep technical knowledge of power management with strong organizational leadership and close work with customers.

Key Responsibilities

Strategy and Product Leadership

• Set and carry out the technical roadmap for PMIC and POL products (multi-rail PMICs, buck, boost, buck-boost, LDOs, and digitally controlled/PMBus POL converters) for data center/AI compute, and consumer markets.
• Work with Marketing, Business Units and Systems/Applications to turn customer and market needs into competitive product definitions and specifications.
• Track the competition and new technologies, and find chances to stand out on efficiency, power density, transient response, integration and cost.
• Work with Process Technology to make the best use of onsemi BCD and other process platforms for power management products.

End-to-End Product Development

• Own the full development cycle: concept, architecture, design, layout, verification, tape-out, silicon bring-up, characterization, qualification and release to manufacturing.
• Make sure projects meet schedule, cost, performance and quality targets, with a strong focus on first-pass silicon success.
• Set up and enforce design methodology, design reviews, verification rigor (including mixed-signal/AMS) and documentation standards.
• Work with Product Engineering, Test, Applications, Packaging, Quality and Operations to make sure products are manufacturable and can be ramped smoothly.

Organizational Leadership

• Lead, grow and develop a global, multi-site organization of managers and engineers in Hudson, Rhode Island, San Jose and Bangalore.
• Build a team that performs well, works together and is inclusive, with clear accountability and consistent practices across sites.
• Hire, keep and mentor top technical talent.
• Plan resources, budgets and headcount across several programs running at the same time.
• Encourage innovation, sound technical judgment, and patent and IP creation.

Customer and Cross-Functional Engagement

• Act as a senior technical leader with key customers. Support design-wins, technical reviews and strategic engagements.
• Work closely with Marketing, Sales, Applications, Systems, Process Technology, Quality and Operations leadership.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field (MS or PhD strongly preferred).
• 18+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC development, with a strong focus on power management (PMIC, DC-DC converters, POL).
• 8+ years managing engineering managers and large, multi-disciplinary design teams.
• Proven track record of taking several power management products to high-volume production.
• Experience leading teams spread across geographies and time zones, including India design centers.
• Deep knowledge of:
  • Switching regulator architectures and control loops (voltage/current mode, COT, multiphase)
  • Linear regulators, references, bias, protection circuits and power sequencing
  • Power device integration, gate drivers and BCD process technologies
  • Mixed-signal design flows, verification methodology and silicon validation
• Excellent leadership, communication and executive presence.

Leadership Competencies

• Strategic thinking: Connects technology roadmaps to business growth and customer value.
• Execution: Delivers complex programs on time with high quality.
• Talent development: Builds strong teams and develops future leaders.
