• Lead technical evaluation and qualification of foundry, process-node, package, assembly, test, and material changes.
• Collaborate with Electrical and RF Engineering to translate system needs into ASIC requirements.
• Lead ASIC development from specification through production release.
• Lead technical relationships with design partners, foundries, IP providers, EDA vendors, and OSAT providers.
• Provide technical and cost inputs to ASIC sourcing decisions.
• Provide Principal-level technical leadership for ASIC development and lifecycle support.
• Establish design methods, review practices, tool flows, and reusable development standards.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to future ASIC capabilities.

Required qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field and at least 15 years of relevant ASIC-development experience, or an equivalent combination of education and industry e
• Proven record of delivering production ASICs across the complete development lifecycle
• Broad knowledge of analog, digital, and mixed-signal ASIC development
• Experience managing foundry, process-node, package, assembly, or test transitions for production ASICs
• Strong understanding of semiconductor product engineering
• Demonstrated success technically directing external ASIC design services and semiconductor suppliers
• Working knowledge of semiconductor cost structures and business models

Nice to have

• Experience developing ASICs for radar, sensing, aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, or other high-reliability, long-lifecycle products
• Experience assuming technical ownership of an externally developed ASIC or transferring ASIC design knowledge and data between organizations
• Direct design experience across both analog or mixed-signal and digital IC domains
• Experience contributing to the establishment of new ASIC development flows, design environments, and external-partner operating models
