Head of IC Design

Core Responsibilities

• Lead all IC development across: Analog design, Digital design, Mixed-signal integration, Design verification, CAD/Layout, Design reuse
• Ensure high-quality execution from specification through tape-out and silicon validation.
• Deliver designs that meet schedule, performance, cost, and quality targets.
• Work closely with Product & Technology and Marketing to ensure clear translation of roadmap requirements into design specifications.
• Provide early input on feasibility, risk, and trade-offs.
• Maintain alignment between architecture intent and silicon implementation.
• Establish best-in-class design methodologies, tools, and flows.
• Drive improvements in: Design reuse, Verification coverage, Silicon iterations, Time-to-functioning silicon
• Build scalable design infrastructure to support future growth.
• Partner closely with: Product & Technology (architecture and requirements), Marketing (roadmap alignment), Operations (process, yield, cost, backend execution), Business Units (application needs and priorities)
• Ensure tight alignment between design, manufacturing, and system requirements.
• Implement disciplined design and verification processes to reduce execution risk.
• Identify and manage technical risks early in the development cycle.
• Ensure high confidence in tape-out schedules and silicon success.
• Drive a culture of accountability and delivery predictability.
• Lead global IC design teams across regions.
• Build a strong technical culture focused on: Quality, Execution discipline, Risk management, Design reuse, Continuous improvement
• Recruit, develop, and retain top engineering talent.
