Power management ICs for industrial, telecom, cloud, and automotive systems
Monolithic Power Systems designs and manufactures integrated circuits for power delivery across industrial, telecom, cloud computing, automotive, and consumer markets. The engineering-heavy org (176 engineers vs. 18 sales roles) reflects a design-led, IP-intensive business. Active hiring spans 14 countries with a focus on mid-level engineers, while the project list centers on new product definition, reference designs for computing/networking, and manufacturing yield — typical signals of a fabless or fab-light chipmaker scaling production capacity and NPI (new product introduction) velocity.
Monolithic Power Systems manufactures small-form-factor, energy-efficient power management ICs for systems in industrial, telecom, cloud computing, automotive, and consumer applications. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, the company operates as a public company with 1,001–5,000 employees. The product portfolio spans application-specific power solutions and reference circuit designs targeting computing and networking end-markets. Manufacturing and supply-chain execution — yield improvement, thermal management in high-power modules, on-time delivery, and capacity scaling — are core operational priorities. The company maintains support and engineering offices globally across North America, Europe, and Asia.
MPS designs with BiCMOS, SPICE simulation, Cadence/Spectre tools, Verilog/SystemVerilog, and UVM testbenches. Manufacturing-side tools include Advantest V93K test equipment. Infrastructure: Azure, Windows, Active Directory, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Linux.
New product development and introduction (NPI) cycles for computing and networking markets, including application reference circuits, system-level power management solutions, new package/process qualification, and prototype validation. Production yield and thermal management are active focus areas.
