Job description

The Design Manager - Smart Analog & Sensors will lead the architecture, design, and execution of complex mixed-signal SoCs, with primary focus on digital subsystem design, IP integration, and end-to-end SoC realization for sensing-driven applications. This role emphasizes SoC creation, compute + control integration, and scalable IP-based development, enabling smart sensing platforms for automotive and industrial markets. The analog/sensor content is treated as a system integration component, while the core leadership spans digital architecture, RTL design, and SoC integration.

Role Overview

The Design Manager - Smart Analog & Sensors will lead the architecture, design, and execution of complex mixed-signal SoCs, with primary focus on digital subsystem design, IP integration, and end-to-end SoC realization for sensing-driven applications. This role emphasizes SoC creation, compute + control integration, and scalable IP-based development, enabling smart sensing platforms for automotive and industrial markets. The analog/sensor content is treated as a system integration component, while the core leadership spans digital architecture, RTL design, and SoC integration.

Key Responsibilities

1. 1. SoC Architecture & Digital Design Leadership Define and drive SoC architecture for Smart Sensor platforms: Compute subsystems (MCU / DSP / AI accelerators) Interconnects (NoC, bus fabrics) Memory subsystems and hierarchy Control, security, and safety islands Lead top-level SoC integration, partitioning functionality across digital, analog, and software domains Drive hardware/software co-design, aligning system architecture with firmware and application requirements
2. 2. IP Strategy & Integration Own development, selection, and integration of internal and 3rd-party IP, including: Processor cores (e.g., RISC-V / MCU-class cores) DSP / ML accelerators Peripherals and connectivity IP Define IP reuse strategy and platformization across multiple programs Ensure robust IP qualification, integration methodology, and interoperability verification
3. 3. RTL Execution & Design Quality Lead teams responsible for: RTL micro-architecture and implementation Subsystem integration and top-level assembly Drive design best practices: Lint, CDC, RDC, low-power intent (UPF) Synthesis and timing closure alignment with PD Ensure high-quality handoff to DV, DFT, and Physical Design teams
4. 4. End-to-End SoC Program Execution Own delivery from specification → RTL → integration → tapeout → silicon bring-up Partner closely with: Design Verification, DFT, PD, and product engineering System architecture and applications teams Drive closure on: Functional correctness and coverage PPA (power, performance, area) Silicon bring-up readiness and debug strategy Align execution with system-level modeling and requirements definition flows
5. 5. Smart Sensor System Integration Integrate analog/sensor subsystems (AFE, RF, data converters) into digital SoC framework Drive system-level tradeoffs: Data path partitioning (analog vs digital vs software) Latency, power, and accuracy optimization Ensure seamless interaction between sensor front-end, compute, and software stack
