• Define innovative and efficient design methodologies from architecture to physical implementation.
• Work with verification team for test plan/strategy to meet all functional requirements and performance. Work with timing and physical team for timing closure and meet power and area goals
• Work with analog teams in developing, modelling, and verifying mixed-signal designs.
• Work with cross functional teams across the company to deliver SOC customer-ready IP products. Work closely with SoC Integration teams to drive high level achievements for IP bounding-box targets.
• Develop plans and track progress to maintain aggressive development timelines.
• Own development of comprehensive IP micro-architecture specification documents.
• Work with partner and peer teams to augment project staff, when required.
• Multi-task skills will be key to lead IPs across several projects at a time.
• Pull together regular project status presentations for next level management leadership review. Convert large amounts of data into a clear story to communicate to peers and next level management. Identify risks, develop mitigation strategies & facilitate conflict resolution.
• Lead internal weekly convergence meetings to resolve technical issues. Drive technical work with partner teams, resolving issues and bug tracking. Drive resolution of technical issues between multi-functional teams: Technology/Library, AMS design, PD, DV & CAD teams.
• Collaborate with software/hardware and global ops teams to plan silicon validation of IPs.
• Hire and attract top talent and nurture a strong team collaboration culture and drive creative thinking.

Preferred Experience :

• Proven track record in leading IP design teams and work from concept/feasibility phase to production.  Experience working in a dynamic engineering environment and real-time management skills.
• track record of cross-functional collaboration as well as hands-on IP development, IP project engineering management.
