Job Title

Sr. Director Silicon Design Engineering

Role Summary

Lead AMD's mixed-signal IP analog design organization to define, architect, execute, and productize high-speed analog/mixed-signal IP for future SoCs. Manage multiple cross-geography teams and drive technical direction, delivery quality, and operational efficiency.

Experience Level

Senior — PhD with ~10 years relevant experience or Master’s with ~15 years; executive leadership responsibility managing multiple teams and large projects.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include team leadership, technical direction, and delivery of mixed-signal IP:

• Lead and manage several analog design teams across North America and India.
• Plan and execute analog/mixed-signal projects; manage schedule, priorities, and schedule risk.
• Provide technical direction; participate in architecture and microarchitecture decisions for mixed-signal IP.
• Drive definition and adoption of development flows to improve efficiency and execution quality.
• Coordinate cross-discipline work with Layout, Logical Design, Physical Design, Firmware, Design Verification, and Post-Silicon Validation teams across time zones.
• Ensure deliverable quality, mitigate risks, and support post-silicon activities including bring-up, platform validation, characterization, parameter optimization, and productization.
• Recruit, hire, conduct performance reviews, coach, and develop talent.

Requirements
