Senior SoC Design Lead

About the job

In this role you will lead the team that takes Nordic's next-generation microcontroller and wireless SoCs from architecture and specification to tape-out and production. You own SoC-level design and integration, set the technical direction for the digital design team, and stay accountable for schedule, quality, power and performance. You work with architecture, analog, software, verification, physical design and product teams, and you are a technical and people leader in the group. This is a unique opportunity to combine deep technical expertise with strategic impact while working with some of the industry's most experienced engineers.

Key responsibilitiesLead and grow the SoC design team, including planning, task allocation, mentoring and performance follow-up.

Own SoC-level architecture and microarchitecture decisions together with the system architects, balancing performance, power, area, cost and time to market.

Drive the SoC design flow from specification and RTL through integration, synthesis, timing closure, DFT and sign-off.

Plan and track the SoC project schedule, deliverables and risks, and report status to stakeholders and management.

Define SoC integration and verification strategy with the verification team, including top-level, gate-level and low-power verification.

Coordinate the interfaces to analog, RF, memory and third-party IP, and to physical design, test and software teams.

Support silicon bring-up, debug and characterization, and drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Improve design methodologies, flows, reuse and quality practices across the group.

Document design decisions, assumptions, results and risks for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Kye qualifications and personal skillsA master's or PhD in electrical engineering, computer engineering, microelectronics or a related field.

Extensive and hands-on experience with digital or SoC design, including several SoCs taken to tape-out and production.
