Analog Design Lead – Power Converters

Who are we and what do we do?

We have an exciting opportunity for an Analog Design Lead to join our Gallium Nitride (GaN) Product Line in the High Voltage Power Business Unit in Analog Power Products. GaN is a wide-bandgap semiconductor technology which offers the potential to revolutionize the power semiconductor market by enabling significantly higher power density than existing silicon-based alternatives. The GaN team is fighting in a new & fast-growing market against established competitors & emerging start-ups to be the #1 GaN power supplier. GaN is a key strategic investment for TI that offers huge upside potential & penetration into the $20B+ discrete MOSFET TAM.

What will you be doing in this role? (Responsibilities)

Circuit designs for AC / DC & DC / DC power converters with high power density, high efficiency, low emissions etc. Design of power FET driver for GaN / Silicon FET technology and different converter topologies with built in smart features will be the key challenge in this role. We strive to take the power density to the next height and eliminate reliability concerns for the power stage (driver + power FET). Develop an integration strategy for power stage in high power applications.

End-to-end responsibility for the chip / products starting from specification alignments to release to market.

• Develop circuit architectures for the specific applications.
• Choose right technology node for optimum execution of the family.
• Develop individual block design specification based on full chip circuit architecture.
• Ownership of full chip design, layout, and DV plan in all aspects : technical, schedule planning and tracking.
• Support the bench and ATE test with test plan, schematic and layout verification.
• Participate hands-on in Silicon Debug, assisting in characterization and qual support.
• Datasheet review and final specification adjustment before release to market.
