• Drive cross-organization special assignments such as methodology improvements, IP evaluations, sourcing and procurement, and other team and leadership initiatives as needed.

• Support cross-functional collaboration.

Skills & Experience:

• Experience in SoC or semiconductor engineering, with several years in a people management role leading engineering teams.

• Experience in building, growing, and retaining high-performing engineering teams.

• Strong people skills - coaching, feedback, conflict resolution, and career development.

• Experience managing across multiple disciplines or cross-functional teams.

• Solid understanding of the full SoC development lifecycle and the typical risks and dependencies at each stage.

• Solid technical foundation in SoC development - enough to understand the work, support technical decisions, and earn the trust of the engineers you lead.

• Excellent communication skills - able to operate fluently with both engineers and leadership.

• Experience in working with suppliers and partners.

Nice to have:

• Experience scaling teams in a startup or fast-growing environment.

• Background in wireless or mixed-signal SoCs.
