• Deep relevant working experience in new product development from a SoC design, platform, product, and/or program‑management discipline
• Experience in a leadership role driving multi‑site and multi‑disciplined SOC engineering programs
• Strong understanding of the general silicon engineering process (preferably ASIC), from concept to tape‑out to production
• Ability to develop an end‑to‑end SoC/platform project plan, structure, and execute complex analysis, draw insights, and communicate summary findings and recommendations to senior management and customers
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and debug skills
