Job Details:Job Description: About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Analog Circuit Design Engineer with a strong interest in power delivery circuits and architectures. In this role, you will design and develop advanced analog and mixed-signal circuits for integrated voltage regulation and power management IPs that are critical to Intel's products.
You are passionate about solving complex challenges in power integrity, efficiency, transient response, and low-noise design, and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop analog and mixed-signal ICs for power delivery IPs, including IVRs, LDOs, DC-DC converters, and power gating circuits
- Perform transient, AC, and noise simulations to evaluate stability, load regulation, droop response, and PSRR
- Analyze and optimize power delivery performance, including efficiency, transient response, and power integrity
- Conduct tradeoff analysis across power, performance, area, bandwidth, and quiescent current
- Create floorplans and guide layout with attention to matching, parasitics, current density, and clean power routing
- Perform power integrity analysis including IR drop, decoupling strategies, and package interaction effects
- Collaborate with architecture, digital, layout, and platform teams to ensure robust power delivery integration
- Develop and execute validation test plans to verify design performance against specifications
- Support post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug of power delivery circuits
- Document design methodologies, specifications, and validation results
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to next-generation power delivery innovations
What We're Looking For
To be successful in this role, you should demonstrate the following professional traits:
- Collaborative mindset — ability to work effectively across architecture, digital, layout, and platform teams in a fast-paced environment
- Problem-solving drive — passionate about tackling complex engineering challenges in power integrity, efficiency, and low-noise design
- Detail-oriented approach — disciplined in documentation, design reviews, and validation to ensure accuracy and design integrity
Qualifications:Minimum Qualifications
You must possess one of the following education and experience combinations to be initially considered for this position:
