What you will be responsible for:
Manage analog and mixed-signal IC design projects (spec-to-silicon) using a highly innovative approach to circuit design. Influence schedule, execution, risk management, and cross-functional coordination (Analog Design, Physical Design, Verification, Tapeout). The ideal candidate understands that "Agile for Hardware" is different from software—requiring a hybrid approach to manage long-lead-time silicon cycles alongside iterative firmware releases.
- Plan, track, and drive IC projects (schedule, resources, milestones).
- Coordinate cross-functional engineering teams and technical dependencies.
- Implement and facilitate Agile/Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Retrospectives) within various engineering teams.
- Use tools like Jira/Confluence to track complex cross-functional dependencies between RTL design, verification, and post-silicon validation.
- Identify, track, and drive resolution of technical issues (design, tools, methodology, silicon).
- Identify technical bottlenecks early in the design cycle to assess and mitigate project risks
- Act as the "translator" between deep technical engineering teams and executive leadership, providing clear data-driven updates on velocity, burn-down charts, and milestone hits.
Minimum Qualifications:
- BS EE/CE/Engineering Management or related.
- 5+ yrs semiconductor industry (ideally analog and mixed-signal IC design).
- Familiarity with Agile concepts and how to apply agile concepts to hardware design
- Understanding of custom mixed-signal IC design flows.
- Experience managing complex, cross-functional technical projects.
How you will stand out:
- MS/PhD EE/CE.
- Proven experience acting as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach in a hardware-centric environment. Understanding of SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) is a plus
- Direct experience in SHA256 Bitcoin integrated circuits.
- Advanced node (<10nm) and silicon bring-up experience.
- Familiarity with standard EDA tools & foundry interactions.
- Experience managing leading edge new technologies.
