Product Architect

The role is a senior member of the development team with broad knowledge of hardware / software and a detailed understanding of the end-use case. The successful engineer will define block-level architecture that is used to guide the analog and digital design team implementation of the product requirements document.

They converts Market, customer, industry standards, and other stakeholders' needs into a technical product requirements document (PRD). They are responsible for understanding and distilling system-level specifications that relate to the product requirement and how this services the product road map as defined by the product Marketing team.

They describe, through Jama, product features including defining the Product pinout, specification table, functional description, register requirements, etc. They work closely with the full development team to ensure the customers’ requirements are met in the final product.

They break down the system requirements into block-level implementation, including the interaction between blocks and the degrees of programmability and accuracy required in each component. Their role may require negotiating with each group mentioned above on the best technical implementation to meet the market needs and ensure that market requirements are fulfilled.

They work primarily in the simulation environment to develop circuit prototypes and models to prove new design implementation functionality and robustness. The successful engineer documents in detail their work through JAMA to create the PTRS with test environment, digital/analog resource requirement specification, and expected response across operation range included.

They help to define the simulation parameters and pass/fail criteria for the design team and also are part of the review and sign-off of design simulations. They should have excellent problem solving and practical lab skills for prototyping and circuit analysis.

• Responsibilities

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to:

• Work with an international lead supplier and an experienced technical team in the computing power supply market
• Understand power management products at different levels, and convert system knowledge to new product definitions.
• Generate technical documents such as application notes, technical presentations, and design aids
• Demonstrate lab skills, and perform bench evaluations and measurements to support product design releases.

• Qualifications
