Responsibilities

• Manage Register-Transfer Level (RTL) design, Design Verification (DV) and physical design of System-on-Chip (SoC) to tape-out while working with multiple team members.
• Evaluate and develop SoC design and Integration methodologies and decide on the SoC flow.
• Work with architects and reasoning designers to drive architectural feasibility studies, develop timing, power and area design goals, and explore RTL/design trade-offs for physical design closure.
• Participate in design reviews and track issue resolution, and engage in technical and schedule trade-off discussions. Create execution plans for projects and manage team efforts from concept to working silicon in volume.
• Understand architecture and design specifications with the larger team, and define physical design strategies and tactics to meet quality and schedule goals.
