Nice move QUIK..

PMIC?

It's

Power management integrated circuits (power management ICs or PMICs) are integrated circuits (or a system block in a system-on-a-chip device) for managing power requirements of the host system. A PMIC is often included in battery-operated devices such as mobile phones and portable media players.

Yeah is about another new job in Sunnyvale... as follows.

b Description

Senior ASIC design position is part of the Silicon Platform Development Engineering group, reporting to the Director of Silicon Platform Architecture. This is a critical role within the company with primary responsibility for developing QuickLogic next generation SOC, involving full chip ASIC front end design activities in low power design that integrate major blocks, but not limited to, ARM Cortex CPU, power management function, and various interface such as SPI, I2C, and PLL. Strong ASIC design implementation skill and backend knowledge are a must. Experience in COT environment and ability to collaborate with multiple engineering disciplines at different geographical location worldwide are essential in the success of this position.

Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electronics Engineering with minimum 7 years of experience in High Performance design/Micro architecture.
