System Co-Design Manager

Job Title

System Co-Design Manager

Role Summary

Lead architecture, methodology and delivery for system-level design covering power rail noise, circuit behavior, performance and manufacturing quality. Oversee simulation-to-silicon correlation, prototype/test-chip development, product compliance, and cross-functional execution to enable timely product ramps.

This is a visible, multi-functional management role responsible for technical leadership, driving left-shift practices, and mentoring engineers to meet aggressive product and quality targets.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical guidance: 8+ years total semiconductor/VLSI design experience with at least 5 years in technical leadership.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include system design validation, cross-team coordination, and team leadership.

• Oversee power noise, circuit margin, performance and manufacturing quality system design and validation.
• Drive simulation-to-silicon correlation and prototype/test-chip development to accelerate NPI.
• Define and implement closed-loop methodologies, KPIs and left-shift practices.
• Evaluate multi-functional impacts of complex features and propose practical design solutions.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure product performance, compliance and manufacturability.
• Coach and mentor engineers; set technical excellence and delivery standards.
• Advocate secure, validated AI-augmented engineering workflows with required human oversight on critical judgments.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience.

• 8+ years semiconductor/VLSI design experience with a minimum of 5 years in technical leadership.
• Proven ability to bridge hardware/software specifications and silicon implementation.
• Track record delivering simulation-to-silicon correlation, prototyping and left-shift methodologies for power noise, circuit behavior and performance.
• Experience with silicon bring-up, validation, test coverage optimization, yield ramp and quality issue resolution.
• Practical hands-on experience leveraging AI tools and AI-augmented engineering workflows.
• Strong communication and cross-team collaboration capabilities.

Nice-to-have:

• Hands-on design experience with GPU, CPU, SoC, AI accelerators or data-center silicon.
• Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, tool invocation, LLM benchmarking and workflow automation.
• Published technical work or demonstrated record of technical innovation.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
