• Collaborates across functional teams (e.g., software architecture, hardware architecture, product management, program management teams) to develop and execute an implementation strategy that meets system requirements and customer needs.

• Evaluates all aspects of complex process flow from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use, and verification or similarly for custom circuit design/layout flow.

• Utilizes tools/applications (e.g., SystemC HLS to RTL to GDS Flow, Stratus) to execute and enable advanced architecture and design of multiple complex blocks, and Python for large-scale design flow automation and dashboarding"

• Writes and reviews detailed technical documentation for complex EDA/IP/ASIC projects.

Level of Responsibility:

• Works independently with minimal supervision.

• Provides supervision/guidance to other team members.

• Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group.

• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
