Job Summary
The Analog Design Manager leads analog and mixed-signal design engineering activities across multiple high-speed IC product lines, owning the full new product introduction (NPI) lifecycle from product definition through to volume production. The role is responsible for directing a multidisciplinary team of circuit designers and layout engineers, driving technical execution across concurrent development programmes, and ensuring robust delivery of high-performance IC designs aligned to business and customer requirements.
Responsibilities
- Lead and manage a multidisciplinary team of analog circuit designers and layout engineers, including goal setting, performance management, recruitment, and capability development (20%).
- Own end-to-end NPI execution across multiple high-speed IC programmes, from concept and architecture through to tape‑out, qualification, and production ramp (25%).
- Translate product roadmap and system requirements into executable analog design plans, ensuring alignment with schedule, cost, and performance targets (10%).
- Drive design execution across concurrent programmes, including scheduling, resource planning, and risk management (10%).
- Collaborate closely with Marketing, Product Definition, Applications, Product Engineering, Test, Validation, and Reliability teams to ensure full alignment with customer and system requirements (10%).
- Lead pre‑tape‑out reviews, ensuring design compliance against specification, layout verification, and production readiness (10%).
- Oversee post‑silicon bring‑up, silicon correlation, and performance optimisation to improve first‑pass success rates and product maturity (10%).
- Prepare and present technical updates, design reviews, and programme status reporting to senior leadership, ensuring clear visibility of risks, milestones, and delivery progress (5%).
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or related technical discipline required.
- 10+ years’ experience in semiconductor analog design required.
- 5+ years’ experience in a leadership or engineering management role required.
- Hands‑on experience in analog circuit design, mixed‑signal integration, simulation, and IC verification.
- Proven experience leading NPI programmes within semiconductor development environments.
- Strong ability to manage multiple concurrent projects under schedule and resource constraints.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across cross‑functional engineering organisations.
Desired Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or related discipline preferred.
- Experience in optical communication IC design, including laser drivers and transimpedance amplifiers.
- Experience with SAP, semiconductor design tools, and advanced analog simulation environments.
- Experience supporting or leading high‑speed IC development programmes through full product lifecycle.
- Exposure to semiconductor device physics and analog design optimisation techniques.
- Experience implementing engineering standards, methodologies, or design governance frameworks.
- Project or programme management certification (e.g., PMP) preferred.
All duties and responsibilities are essential job functions and may be adjusted to reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities.
