Preferred Qualifications:- Education: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
- Experience leading IC design organizations of 10 or more engineers, including multidisciplinary analog, RF, mixed-signal, digital, and/or physical design teams.
- Experience with cryoCMOS, quantum-control/readout electronics, low-temperature electronics, or other advanced semiconductor applications.
- Deep technical expertise in at least one IC design discipline, such as analog/mixed-signal, RFIC, digital IC, or high-speed circuit design, combined with sufficient technical breadth to lead multidisciplinary IC development.
- Experience working closely with semiconductor technology development, PDK, compact modeling, EDA, test, packaging, and silicon characterization teams.
- Experience establishing or scaling an IC design capability, including design methodologies, reusable IP, design flows, technical review processes, and tapeout execution practices.
- Experience engaging customers and ecosystem partners to translate system-level requirements into semiconductor technology and IC design solutions.
- Project management skills, including the ability to innovate and execute on solutions that matter and navigate ambiguity.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong planning and organizational skills.
