About the role
We are seeking a Senior Analog Engineering Manager to lead the development of DDR5 and next-generation DDR6 PHY solutions for advanced SoCs. This role requires deep technical expertise in high-speed memory interfaces, combined with strong people leadership and program ownership. The successful candidate will manage a team responsible for end-to-end delivery of high-performance, low-power DDR PHYs, from architecture through silicon bring-up, while shaping the roadmap for DDR6-class signaling and architecture.
Technical Leadership (DDR5 / DDR6)
- Own and guide the architecture, design, and implementation of DDR5 PHYs and contribute to DDR6-ready architectures.
- Provide technical oversight for critical analog and mixed-signal blocks, including:
- High-speed TX/RX datapaths
- Advanced equalization, termination, and training circuits
- DLL/PLL-based clocking solutions for multi-GHz operation
- Voltage, reference generation, and power-aware IO design
- Drive closure on timing, jitter, noise, SI/PI, and PVT robustness for aggressive DDR5/DDR6 data rates.
- Ensure compliance with JEDEC DDR5 specifications and alignment with evolving DDR6 standards and industry direction.
- Lead post-silicon bring-up, characterization, debug, and yield improvement, including lab and customer-system correlation.
People & Organization Leadership
- Build, lead, and mentor a team of analog and mixed-signal designers focused on high-speed memory interfaces.
- Set technical direction, performance expectations, and development plans for senior and principal engineers.
- Drive hiring, onboarding, and team scaling aligned with DDR5 production and DDR6 development needs.
- Foster a culture of technical rigor, ownership, and execution excellence.
Program & Cross-Functional Execution
- Own DDR5/DDR6 PHY execution balancing schedule, quality, and risk
- Partner closely with:
- Digital PHY and controller teams
- SoC integration and system architecture, Package, PCB, SI/PI, and validation teams
- Product, program management, and customers
- Interface with foundries, IP vendors, and standards bodies as needed to ensure successful delivery and future readiness.
