About the job
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.
