onsemi is hiring a Senior Director to lead its PMIC (Power Management IC) and POL (Point-of-Load) product development. You will set the technical direction and run day-to-day execution for a global team of analog, mixed-signal, digital and layout engineers spread across four sites.
You will own each product from start to finish: defining it with Marketing and Systems, then leading architecture, design, verification, tape-out, silicon validation, qualification and release to production. You will be accountable for schedule, quality, cost and first-pass silicon success. The role combines deep technical knowledge of power management with strong organizational leadership and close work with customers.
