About the role

The Design Manager – Smart Analog & Sensors will lead the architecture, design, and execution of complex mixed-signal SoCs, with primary focus on digital subsystem design, IP integration, and end-to-end SoC realization for sensing-driven applications. This role emphasizes SoC creation, compute + control integration, and scalable IP-based development, enabling smart sensing platforms for automotive and industrial markets. The analog/sensor content is treated as a system integration component, while the core leadership spans digital architecture, RTL design, and SoC integration.

Responsibilities

  • SoC Architecture & Digital Design Leadership
    • Define and drive SoC architecture for Smart Sensor platforms:
      • Compute subsystems (MCU / DSP / AI accelerators)
      • Interconnects (NoC, bus fabrics)
      • Memory subsystems and hierarchy
      • Control, security, and safety islands
    • Lead top-level SoC integration, partitioning functionality across digital, analog, and software domains
    • Drive hardware/software co-design, aligning system architecture with firmware and application requirements
  • IP Strategy & Integration
    • Own development, selection, and integration of internal and 3rd-party IP, including:
      • Processor cores (e.g., RISC-V / MCU-class cores)
      • DSP / ML accelerators
      • Peripherals and connectivity IP
    • Define IP reuse strategy and platformization across multiple programs
    • Ensure robust IP qualification, integration methodology, and interoperability verification
  • RTL Execution & Design Quality
    • Lead teams responsible for:
      • RTL micro-architecture and implementation
      • Subsystem integration and top-level assembly
    • Drive design best practices:
      • Lint, CDC, RDC, low-power intent (UPF)
      • Synthesis and timing closure alignment with PD
    • Ensure high-quality handoff to DV, DFT, and Physical Design teams
  • End-to-End SoC Program Execution
    • Own delivery from specification → RTL → integration → tapeout → silicon bring-up
    • Partner closely with:
      • Design Verification, DFT, PD, and product engineering
      • System architecture and applications teams
    • Drive closure on:
      • Functional correctness and coverage
      • PPA (power, performance, area)
      • Silicon bring-up readiness and debug strategy
    • Align execution with system-level modeling and requirements definition flows
  • Smart Sensor System Integration
    • Integrate analog/sensor subsystems (AFE, RF, data converters) into digital SoC framework
    • Drive system-level tradeoffs:
      • Data path partitioning (analog vs digital vs software)
      • Latency, power, and accuracy optimization
    • Ensure seamless interaction between sensor front-end, compute, and software stack

Pay

$166,500.00 – $290,000.00. The exact salary will be determined based on qualifications, experience, and location.
