ASIC Design Engineering Lead SoC IP DMA

In this highly visible hands-on role you will lead a team of engineers at the center of Apples SOC IP DMA design effort. Balancing equal parts people management and technical leadership you will guide your team through the full front-end design cycle including microarchitecture RTL delivery and debug. Your leadership will ensure silicon-ready quality while fostering a culture of teamwork and collaboration continuous learning and engineering excellence. Your work will have direct impact on products used by millions of people worldwide.

As a hands-on ASIC Design Engineering Lead you will split your time equally between leading your team and contributing directly as a technical contributor. You will:nn- Work closely with the platform architecture team to understand and refine architectural requirementsnLead your team to define and document the micro-architecturen- Provide high-level technical guidance drive micro-architectural decisions review team members work and provide feedback and ensure quality and across the teams design workn- Actively drive the development of design infrastructure automation and strategic use of AI and other emerging toolsn- Be hands-on with the all activities of the team e.g. micro-architecture RTL design verification strategy debug and infrastructure developmentn- Scope features generate effort area and power estimates and create bottoms-up project schedules and resourcing plans.n- Partner with architecture IP integration chip integration design verification and formal verification teams to align on plans milestones and deliverablesn- Track execution surface and resolve risks early and communicate clearly to management and stakeholdersn- Lead mentor and grow a team of engineers; actively invest in each persons technical and professional developmentn- Build a team culture grounded in teamwork and collaboration intellectual honesty design/idea sharing and a genuine growth mindsetn- Manage interpersonal dynamics thoughtfully and cultivate strong relationships within the team and with cross-functional teams
