General description and main responsibilities**:

CORTUS is working on the next generation of IoT connectivity modems building up 5G massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) chipset that will define ultra-low power, high reliability and low-cost benchmarks for SoC products that rely on NB-IoT, BLE and IEEE 802. 15. 4.

To become a chip leader in wireless connectivity for the IoT market, we are looking for Junior/Mid Power Management IC Design Engineers (M/F) for our R&D centers of excellence.

As a Power Management IC designer, you will develop new efficient DC/DC IPs (e. g.

bucks, boosts, buck-boosts converters, charge pumps, chargers, LDOs) and implement circuit design with best-practice layout techniques.

He/She will directly interact with system architects, Digital design team, AMS design teams and Back-End

engineers for the integration of the Power Management functions into the CORTUS' SoC family product for wireless connectivity.

The ideal applicants should be familiar on working in a multicultural environment and with teams spread over several sites.

**Minimum requirements**:

- Engineering Msc.

or Bsc.

degree in Electronics/Telecommunications or equivalent;

- Experience in power management architecture topologies, such as PWM control, constant-on-time control, and voltage/current mode controls;

- Capability to handle the design of CMOS/BCD power management circuits (buck, boost, LDOs, bandgaps, bias, comparators, and op-amps ) with main EDA tools and meeting performance, area, power and speed constraints;

- Capability to review and provide feedback for Printed Circuit Board design from a power perspective and associated I/O;

- Knowledge of physical construction and characteristics of capacitor and inductors (on-chip and off-chip);

- Knowledge of Latch-Up and ESD phenomena to assure the functional security of the system

- Scheduling and reporting activities;

- English language written and spoken;

- Proven communication/interpersonal skills;

- Able to assume responsibility for a variety of technical tasks and troubleshooting;

- Strong sense of responsibility and ability to achieve deadlines.

**Highly preferred skills (plus)**:

- Experience modeling circuits in Matlab, VerilogA, Python, or C for concepts prior to implementation;

- Validate analog/power designs on a lab bench using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc;

- Design with detailed testability; write test plans for trim and calibration; collaborate with test engineers;

- Script programming language (e. g.

perl, shell, phyton);

- Familiar with real-time embedded software (especially debugging).
