About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive parallel development FEIC chipsets from architecture definition through tapeout, silicon bring-up and production on accelerated & interleaved schedules.
Build and maintain integrated schedules across multiple design services vendors and partners, tracking inter-variant dependencies and shared design elements.
Coordinate closure of architecture trades, frequency planning and digital control interface selection.
Track and mitigate risks related to vendor schedule and pricing divergences, antenna design strategy, band emission compliance, and cross-variant design reuse targets.
Align FEIC specifications and analog interface definitions to ensure system-level compatibility, including analog I/O pin-map and footprint co-design.
Manage antenna co-development, ensuring FEIC electrical specs are compatible with antenna integration and that end-product deliverable is aligned across stakeholders.
Monitor performance, power, and yield targets and drive DFT and final test strategy definition with vendors.
Coordinate multi-variant mask planning including metal-layer variants to minimize tapeout risk and cost across frequency and feature variants.
Oversee the post-silicon development phases including bring-up, bench-validation, characterization, qualification and production ramp.
