• Set and drive the technical strategy for digital IP, block-level design, verification, and full-chip integration—aligning architectural choices to product differentiation, schedule, and long-term reuse.
• Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing organization of architects, RTL designers, and verification engineers; establish clear technical expectations and a culture of ownership and excellence.
• Own program delivery from concept through tapeout and into productization—planning resources, managing schedules and milestones, and proactively driving risk retirement and trade-off decisions.
• Influence outcomes across the broader silicon ecosystem by partnering tightly with physical design, DFT/test, IP, software/firmware, packaging, systems engineering, and foundry/OSAT partners.
• Establish and enforce robust quality and signoff discipline, including design reviews, coding standards, verification closure, timing and power closure, area/constraints management, and manufacturability/yield considerations.
• Build a world-class team: recruit and hire top talent, develop technical leaders, and manage performance and career growth to retain key capabilities.
• Manage the operating model for the team, including budget ownership, EDA/tool strategy, license planning, and vendor/partner selection.
• Drive continuous improvement in productivity and predictability through design flows, automation, CI/regression infrastructure, and disciplined IP reuse strategies.

Must-have Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of digital IC/ASIC development experience, with demonstrated progression in technical leadership (people management experience preferred).
• Strong hands-on depth in RTL micro-architecture and implementation (SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL), synthesis, STA/timing closure, and power/performance optimization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep expertise in modern verification, including constrained-random methodology, formal techniques, and acceleration/emulation.
• Working knowledge of the full silicon lifecycle and cross-functional handoffs, including physical design, DFT/scan, signoff flows, and foundry enablement.
• Proven ability to deliver complex programs to tapeout—building credible plans, managing dependencies and risk, and driving alignment across multiple teams.
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA environments (e.g., Cadence and Siemens/Mentor) and productivity scripting/automation (Python, Tcl, and/or Ruby).
• Executive-level communication skills and strong stakeholder management—able to translate technical trade-offs into clear decisions and commitments.
• Sound judgment under schedule pressure, with a track record of prioritizing the right trade-offs while maintaining quality.
• Demonstrated people leadership strengths, including mentoring and coaching engineers, developing technical leaders, and building a strong team culture of accountability, learning, and engineering excellence.
