DMTS Design Engineering

Role Overview

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

This role emphasizesSoC 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 asystem integration component, while the core leadership spansdigital architecture, RTL design, and SoC integration.

Key Responsibilities

1. SoC Architecture & Digital Design Leadership

• Define and driveSoC architecture for Smart Sensor platforms:

  • Compute subsystems (MCU / DSP / AI accelerators)

  • Interconnects (NoC, bus fabrics)

  • Memory subsystems and hierarchy

  • Control, security, and safety islands

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

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

2. IP Strategy & Integration

• Own development, selection, and integration ofinternal and 3rd-party IP, including:

  • Processor cores (e.g., RISC-V / MCU-class cores)

  • DSP / ML accelerators

  • Peripherals and connectivity IP

• DefineIP reuse strategy and platformization across multiple programs

• Ensure robustIP 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

• Drivedesign best practices:

  • Lint, CDC, RDC, low-power intent (UPF)

  • Synthesis and timing closure alignment with PD

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

4. End-to-End SoC Program Execution

• Own delivery fromspecification → 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 withsystem-level modeling and requirements definition flows

5. Smart Sensor System Integration

• Integrateanalog/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 betweensensor front-end, compute, and software stack
