At onsemi , we help improve lives through silicon solutions every day. Our intelligent power and sensing technologies solve the world’s most complex challenges and lead the way in creating a safer, cleaner, and smarter world. Our group develops compute subsystems containing MCUs, DSPs, and accelerators, for a large variety of different products and markets.
The Role
Si Design Architect for a broad array of Analog and Mixed signals devices, with a strong focus on sensor products and the associated analog and digital IP. This position will report directly into the Vice President of New Product Development and play a strong role in the formation of current and future product families, and the details of the design content.
The successful candidate for this position will have a strong background in chip product design, both digital and analog, and additional preference for memory design experience. Understanding of DFT, I/Os, Cybersecurity, AI & NNA, production test efficiency, and specific strong analog/digital experience can be distinguishing.
While this position is embedded in the product design team and will interface intensely with the design organization, there is also an existing team of market focused product architects, and this role will be a close partner and bridge between the market need and the details of product family & IP chip content.
Why Join Us
We create a diverse set of world-class products in a friendly and team-oriented atmosphere. We provide an environment of continual learning and growth opportunities and support volunteer & charitable programs. We offer a competitive benefit package and a great place to work to build a career.
