Senior Principal Power Architect - MCU

Experteer Overview

In this role you will define and architect DC-DC systems for MCU products and MCU-based systems, conducting system simulations and quantifying block-level specs. You will ensure architecture meets requirements before and after tape-out, while collaborating with system architects, marketing, and design teams. The position combines hands‑on analog/digital interaction with leadership and mentorship in a fast‑paced environment. This is a chance to shape high‑performance power solutions for edge MCU platforms at NXP in Catania.

Responsibilities and Benefits

• Define, architect and DC‑DC systems for MCU products and MCU-based systems
• Perform system simulations of DC‑DC systems
• Quantify block‑level specifications for implementation
• Quantify implementation impairments in overall system performance
• Ensure architecture and implementation meet system requirements pre‑ and post‑silicon
• Collaborate with system architects and marketing to develop power solutions for MCU products
• Define innovative DC‑DC switcher architectures (buck, buck‑boost, boost; capacitive converters possible)
• Simulate DC‑DC switcher architectures including digital control and analog impairments (MATLAB, Simplis or equivalents)
• Possibly perform block‑level analog design including layout oversight, review and sign‑off
• Work with analog and digital designers to ensure requirements are met before and after tape‑out
• Mentorship and development of junior engineers

Qualifications

• 10+ years of product development experience including switch‑mode power supplies design and architecture
• Master's degree in electronic engineering
• Strong and effective communication and teamwork skills
