Analog IC Design Engineer – Driver IC

Analog IC Design Engineer – Driver IC (Isolated / Half-Bridge / IGBT Drivers)
Location: Suzhou or Shanghai, China, Remote in Europe with frequent travel  (relocation support available)
Openings: Multiple positions – R&D team expansion
Division: Power Semiconductor – Driver IC Department

Ours client is  China’s leading listed company in the industrial automation sector, providing innovative solutions in automation, digitalization, and electrification. With over 23,000 employees, dual headquarters in Suzhou and Shenzhen, and 30+ subsidiaries worldwide, we are actively expanding our R&D efforts in the new energy vehicle (NEV) and power semiconductor domains.

Role Summary
We are seeking experienced Analog IC Design Engineers to join our Driver IC R&D team, focusing on the development of isolated gate driver ICs, particularly for IGBT, SiC, and half-bridge configurations used in automotive and industrial applications.
You will be responsible for the architecture, schematic-level design, simulation, and validation of high-performance gate driver ICs. The role involves working closely with process, packaging, and system integration teams to bring analog/mixed-signal driver ICs from concept to mass production.
?? Important Note: This role requires frequent international business travel, especially during the first year, to coordinate with global R&D partners and system application teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop isolated driver ICs, including:
  • IGBT/SiC drivers
  • Half-bridge / full-bridge gate drivers
  • High-voltage level shifters and protection circuits
• Perform analog and mixed-signal circuit design, simulation (Spectre, HSPICE), and verification
• Lead or contribute to layout supervision, DRC/LVS review, and silicon validation
• Work with packaging and system engineers to optimize for performance, EMI, and thermal constraints
• Support test plan development and failure analysis for engineering samples
• Collaborate with system application teams to meet customer-specific design requirements

Candidate Requirements

• Master’s degree or above in Microelectronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal IC design, preferably in gate drivers or power management
• Strong foundation in:
  • Analog blocks: op-amps, comparators, level shifters, charge pumps, etc.
  • Power device interfacing (e.g. IGBT, SiC, MOSFET)
  • Isolated signal transmission, dead-time control, under-voltage lockout (UVLO)
• Familiar with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, or other IC design tools
• Experience in automotive-grade IC design (AEC-Q100) is a strong plus
• Fluent in English (Mandarin is a plus)

Preferred Keywords (Target Skills):

• Driver IC
• Isolated Gate Driver
• Half-Bridge Driver
• IGBT Driver
• Analog IC Design
• Mixed-Signal IC
• SiC / IGBT interface
