Description
Role Purpose
Lead Power Integrations’ global IC design organization, ensuring the successful and predictable execution of all silicon development aligned to product architectures and Market-driven roadmaps.
This role owns the delivery of high-quality, manufacturable ICs, translating product and system requirements into silicon while maintaining strong execution discipline, risk management, and cross-functional alignment.
Working closely with Product & Technology Development, Marketing, Operations, and Business Units, this leader ensures silicon delivery meets performance, cost, quality, and schedule commitments.
Business Ownership & Impact
Own execution and delivery of all IC development programs.
Ensure predictable silicon delivery aligned to product commitments.
Drive improvements in:o First-pass silicon success
Development cycle time
Design productivity and reuse
Balance design innovation with execution risk and schedule confidence.
Ensure designs meet:
Performance targets
Cost and area targets
Manufacturability and yield requirements
Core Responsibilities
IC Design Execution & Delivery
Lead all IC development across:
Analog design
Digital design
Mixed-signal integration
Design verification
CAD/Layout
Design reuse
Ensure high-quality execution from specification through tape-out and silicon validation.
Deliver designs that meet schedule, performance, cost, and quality targets.
Alignment to Product & Marketing Requirements
Work closely with Product & Technology and Marketing to ensure clear translation of roadmap requirements into design specifications.
Provide early input on feasibility, risk, and trade-offs.
Maintain alignment between architecture intent and silicon implementation.
Design Methodology & Productivity
Establish best-in-class design methodologies, tools, and flows.
Drive improvements in:
Design reuse
Verification coverage
Silicon iterations
Time-to-functioning silicon
Build scalable design infrastructure to support future growth.
Cross-Functional Integration
Partner closely with:
Product & Technology (architecture and requirements)
Marketing (roadmap alignment)
Operations (process, yield, cost, backend execution)
Business Units (application needs and priorities)
Ensure tight alignment between design, manufacturing, and system requirements.
Risk Management & Predictable Execution
Implement disciplined design and verification processes to reduce execution risk.
Identify and manage technical risks early in the development cycle.
Ensure high confidence in tape-out schedules and silicon success.
Drive a culture of accountability and delivery predictability.
Organizational Leadership
Lead global IC design teams across regions.
Build a strong technical culture focused on:
Quality
Execution discipline
Risk management
Design reuse
Continuous improvement
Recruit, develop, and retain top engineering talent.
Ideal Profile
15+ years of experience in IC design (analog, mixed-signal, or power ICs).
Proven leadership of global IC design teams.
Deep expertise in:
High-voltage / power IC design
Mixed-signal integration
Semiconductor processes (BCD, HV, GaN preferred)
Strong track record of delivering silicon on schedule with high quality.
Experience improving design productivity and execution predictability.
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across product, marketing, and operations.
