Chip Lead

Business Line Description:

• AI & Chip Engineering team defines and develops System on Chip ASICs Digital and Analog IPsfor a wide range of products including Automotive microprocessors Application processors Data Center and network processors.

Job Summary:

• Lead product execution for Automotive ASIL-B/D SoCs& Data Center SOCs

• Work with Systems Marketing PE/TE and Arch engineering to define the part. Generate and analyze data to take right and cost effective architecture decision

• Work with IP Technology packaging partners to assess the right IP/packages and technology options for the part.

• Work with IP and SoC functions (frontend verification AMS DFT Emulation Validation Physical implementation) to understand and resolve inter/intra functional handoff and challenges.

• Oversee definition management and make sure the implementation complies with the requirements

• Work closely with downstream teams dependent on SOC who are working on post-silicon activities to make sure their needs are addressed

• Work closely with Test and Product engineering teams to enable productization.

• Work closely with post silicon evaluation teams (functional and analog Validation Characterization Application and Software teams) and address design issues.

• Work with Program management office for management attention and clearly articulate dependencies and help needed for timely execution of projects.

• Assess workload and resource demands based on complexity and create predictable project plans meeting customer requirements

• Mentor engineers across various functions

Key Challenges:

• Automotive SoC development pose additional challenges specific to implementation of safety mechanism

• Automotive SoC development requires ensuring very high quality and reliability ensuring a very low ppm defectivity over an long product life time.

• The role includes leading the teams in a matrix organization assimilating information from across functional teams and analyzing it in product context

• Understand impact of architecture on logical and physical realizability

• Working within resource and schedule constraints

Cross functional aspects:

• This role is primarily about leading cross functional teams

• During part definition is includes a close interaction with Business Systems Architects third party IP vendors

• During execution a close interaction and decision making is required between Technology packaging IP Architecture Various implementation functions Test and Product Engineering.

• Post silicon close collaboration is needed with Software Test and production engineering Application and Field teams.

• Overall Chip lead is central design point of contact for all cross functional teams associated with the part.

Job Qualifications:

• Bachelors in Engineering with at 15years of design development experience with at least 5 years of leading complete design and design functions.

• MS in Electrical Engineering preferred (higher level education may substitute for some experience).

• Experience in leading Global cross functional teams

• Experience in leading designs in smaller geometries desired

Job location:

• The role is based in Austin/ is a hybrid role with a few days in the office each week and the remaining days are work from home.
