DMTS Design Engineering

About this role

The Design Manager – Smart Analog & Sensors will lead the architecture, design, and execution of complex mixed-signal SoCs, with primary focus on digital subsystem design, IP integration, and end-to-end SoC realization for sensing-driven applications.

This role emphasizes SoC creation, compute + control integration, and scalable IP-based development, enabling smart sensing platforms for automotive and industrial markets. The analog/sensor content is treated as a system integration component, while the core leadership spans digital architecture, RTL design, and SoC integration.

Key Responsibilities 1. SoC Architecture & Digital Design Leadership • Define and drive SoC architecture for Smart Sensor platforms: • Compute subsystems (MCU / DSP / AI accelerators)

• Interconnects (NoC, bus fabrics)

• Memory subsystems and hierarchy

• Control, security, and safety islands

• Lead top-level SoC integration , partitioning functionality across digital, analog, and software domains

• Drive hardware/software co-design , aligning system architecture with firmware and application requirements

2. IP Strategy & Integration • Own development, selection, and integration of internal and 3rd-party IP , including: • Processor cores (e.g., RISC-V / MCU-class cores)

• DSP / ML accelerators

• Peripherals and connectivity IP

• Define IP reuse strategy and platformization across multiple programs

• Ensure robust IP qualification, integration methodology, and interoperability verification

3. RTL Execution & Design Quality • Lead teams responsible for: • RTL micro-architecture and implementation

• Subsystem integration and top-level assembly

• Drive design best practices : • Lint, CDC, RDC, low-power intent (UPF)

• Synthesis and timing closure alignment with PD

• Ensure high-quality handoff to DV, DFT, and Physical Design teams

4. End-to-End SoC Program Execution • Own delivery from specification → RTL → integration → tapeout → silicon bring-up

• Partner closely with: • Design Verification, DFT, PD, and product engineering

• System architecture and applications teams

• Drive closure on: • Functional correctness and coverage

• PPA (power, performance, area)

• Silicon bring-up readiness and debug strategy

• Align execution with system-level modeling and requirements definition flows

5. Smart Sensor System Integration • Integrate analog/sensor subsystems (AFE, RF, data converters) into digital SoC framework

• Drive system-level tradeoffs: • Data path partitioning (analog vs digital vs software)

• Latency, power, and accuracy optimization

• Ensure seamless interaction between sensor front-end, compute, and software stack
