Role Description :
Principal Architect – Isolated Gate Driver IC
Purpose :
We are looking for a Principal Architect with deep expertise in isolated gate driver IC design for SiC and GaN power devices to lead innovation in our Energy business. You will define and drive next-generation high-performance gate drivers used in SiC / GaN-based power modules for solar inverters, energy storage systems, grid-tied converters, and fast EV chargers.
The developed architectures and IP will also support Automotive (EV traction, onboard chargers) and Industrial (motor drives, robotics, power supplies) markets, ensuring a scalable, platform-based approach to wide-bandgap driver solutions.
Areas Of Responsibility :
- Lead architecture and design definition for isolated gate driver ICs used with SiC and GaN power switches, optimized for high switching speed, high CMTI, and robustness.
- Architect complete driver solutions including :
- High / low side output stages (with Miller clamp, active pull-up / down, configurable source / sink)
- Isolation interface (capacitive, magnetic, or optical)
- Integrated protections (UVLO, DESAT, SCP, soft turn-off, active clamp)
- Diagnostic and telemetry features (SPI / I²C interface, status flags)
- Define system-level integration strategy for energy platforms, ensuring reliable performance across wide operating voltages, temperatures, and transient conditions.
- Ensure design meets isolation standards (UL1577, VDE0884, IEC 60747-17) and supports high CMTI (>
100 kV / µs) performance.
Technical Skills
600 V) and high-frequency (>
100 kHz–1 MHz) design constraints.
Strong foundation in EMI / EMC, thermal behavior, and safe operating area (SOA) management
