Requirements

  • 10+ years of digital ASIC development, with at least 3 full product cycles successfully executed from specification to high-volume production
  • Proven track record of driving on-time, first-time-right delivery of complex, high-performance ASICs with mixed-signal interfaces (e.g., SerDes, DACs/ADCs, RF SoCs, display/camera pipelines)
  • Strong expertise in RTL design (SystemVerilog/Verilog), CDC/RDC, STA, synthesis, P&R, power intent (UPF/CPF), and DFT/DFD methodologies
  • Deep understanding of mixed-signal interaction (coupling, jitter, supply noise, calibration) and ability to partner effectively with analog teams on specification splits
  • Demonstrated success in line management and performance management, including hiring, mentoring, and building high-performing engineering teams
  • Skilled in fast-paced, cross-functional program leadership with a proven ability to manage schedules, risks, and vendor/foundry relationships
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication; confident presenting clear, concise program and technical status to executives, customers, and cross-site teams

Responsibilities

  • Execution Ownership & Speed – Lead end-to-end delivery of digital subsystems (RTL, synthesis, DFT/DFD, timing closure, physical implementation), ensuring aggressive schedule targets are met without compromising quality
  • Right-First-Time Delivery – Build and enforce processes that prioritize robust design, rigorous verification, and silicon bring-up strategies that achieve first-silicon success
  • Line & Performance Management – Manage, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of 6–12 digital and mixed-signal engineers. Own goal-setting, performance reviews, career development, and hiring, while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
  • Cross-Functional Alignment – Drive seamless collaboration across analog, verification, layout, packaging, firmware, and test teams to keep programs moving fast and aligned from architecture → spec → implementation → sign-off → bring-up
  • Program Leadership – Define and track aggressive schedules, resource plans, and risk-mitigation strategies. Communicate progress, trade-offs, and escalation paths clearly to executives and customers
  • Technical Direction – Provide architectural and implementation guidance for high-speed digital subsystems, including multi-lane data paths, clocking, and mixed-signal control loops
  • Culture of Speed & Quality – Champion design automation, streamlined methodologies, and knowledge sharing to deliver high-quality silicon on tight timelines
