• Build, lead, and mentor a team of analog and mixed-signal designers focused on high-speed memory interfaces.
• Set technical direction, performance expectations, and development plans for senior and principal engineers.
• Drive hiring, onboarding, and team scaling aligned with DDR5 production and DDR6 development needs.
• Foster a culture of technical rigor, ownership, and execution excellence.

• Own DDR5/DDR6 PHY execution balancing schedule, quality, and risk
• Partner closely with:
  Digital PHY and controller teams SoC integration and system architecture, Package, PCB, SI/PI, and validation teams, Product, program management, and customers
• Interface with foundries, IP vendors, and standards bodies as needed to ensure successful delivery and future readiness.

• Establish robust design and signoff methodologies for next-generation high-speed PHYs.
• Drive continuous improvement in simulation accuracy, mixed-signal verification, and silicon debug efficiency.
• Lead long-term DDR5 sustainment and DDR6 technology roadmap planning, including architectural trade-offs and scaling strategies.
• Anticipate challenges from data-rate scaling, power efficiency, and advanced process technologies

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (PhD preferred).
• 12+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design with deep focus on high-speed memory interfaces.
• 5+ years of people-management and technical leadership experience.
• Proven hands-on delivery of DDR5 PHYs or late-stage DDR4 designs transitioning to DDR5
• Strong expertise in:
  High-speed IO design and signal integrity, PLL/DLL and low-jitter clocking architectures,Mixed-signal verification and silicon validation, Advanced CMOS process considerations for IOs

• Direct involvement in DDR6 architectural studies or early-stage development.
• Experience at advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, and below).
• Background in multi-generation memory PHYs or scalable PHY platforms.
• Ability to lead teams delivering multiple concurrent tape-outs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills across technical and executive audiences.

• High technical credibility with the ability to dive deep when needed
• Strong execution mindset with disciplined risk management
• Effective mentor and team builder
• Strategic thinker with a roadmap-driven approach to DDR evolution
• Comfortable balancing hands-on engagement with organizational leadership

We are seeking a Senior Analog Engineering Manager to lead the development of DDR5 and next-generation DDR6 PHY solutions for advanced SoCs. This role requires deep technical expertise in high-speed memory interfaces, combined with strong people leadership and program ownership.

The successful candidate will manage a team responsible for end-to-end delivery of high-performance, low-power DDR PHYs, from architecture through silicon bring-up, while shaping the roadmap for DDR6-class signaling and architecture
