As the Power Supplies Design Lead, you will be responsible as a technical design leader as well as planning, directing, coordinating, and overseeing activities in the IC Design department. Our power supply designs are primarily big analog and have been traditionally linear. As we move to the future we will increase the digital aspect of our mixed signal chips as well as creating unique solutions for ATE using switch mode designs. You will ensure the development of new products from idea through to successful product release meeting current and future needs of our customers. Understanding the importance of effective resource management and communication will be just as vital as technical expertise in this role.
