• More than 10 years of experience in one or more areas of semiconductor product development.


• More than 5 years in a technical leadership role.


• Expertise in architecting, designing and/or validating high‑performance solutions in multiple functional areas of high performance SoCs. Examples include mixed‑signal interfaces including SerDes and DDR, embedded processors, IO chiplets, power management, high-volume manufacturing.


• Experience developing high‑speed Ethernet or PCIe SerDes IP or SerDes‑based Ethernet or PCIe products is preferred.


• Experience in one or more aspects of commercializing a chipset including post‑silicon validation, power and thermal convergence, silicon characterization and test, compliance certifications, etc.


• Five or more years of experience in engineering trade‑off analysis.


• Demonstrated track record in hyperscale data center solutions.

What You'll Need

• Oversee chipset development and ensure key performance indicators (KPIs) are met - including PPA, schedule, cost - by working with various domain experts.


• Drive resolution of all engineering issues within the chipset and across various functional blocks and components of the chipset.


• Identify key risks to the project and mitigate them.


• Identify gaps in existing processes and influence development of new methodologies to ensure product KPIs and specifications are met.


• Must have good communication skills and be able to work in a dynamic environment with senior engineers and technologists.
