Director, Digital Design & Verification

This role exists to define, build, and execute a world-class digital design and verification capability at the site, enabling predictable delivery of complex mixed-signal products with high first-pass silicon success.

The Director operates at a strategic and system level, ensuring that digital architecture, verification rigor, and execution discipline scale with increasing program complexity and business expectations. This role is accountable not only for delivering results, but for shaping how results are achieved across people, methodology, and organization.

Deliver high-quality digital design and verification across all programs (schedule, performance, silicon success)

Achieve predictable execution with early risk identification and strong mitigation frameworks

Improve first-pass silicon success rate through disciplined verification and robust design practices

Enable faster time-to-market through reuse, automation, and methodology standardization

Build the site into a self-sufficient digital & verification hub, reducing dependency on external sites

Own end-to-end digital design and verification delivery for the site

Establish and drive verification strategy (simulation, formal, AMS/DMS) as a coherent, evolving plan

Own digital architecture quality, including system control logic, FSM design, FW interfaces, and IP reuse

Define and enforce sign-off criteria, including coverage, closure metrics, and design quality gates

Align digital and verification execution with product roadmap, customer requirements, and business priorities

Define a clear multi-year vision for digital and verification capabilities at the site

Translate business and product strategy into technical roadmap and capability investments

Drive adoption of best-in-class methodologies, tools, and automation frameworks

Continuously adapt strategy based on execution gaps, competitive pressure, and program risk

Elevate the role from task execution to systemic impact and organizational leverage

Lead cross-functional alignment with analog, system, FW, product, and test teams

Act as the primary the site interface for digital and verification in global reviews

Align with other sites on IP reuse, methodology standardization, and sign-off practices

Build strong partnerships with product line managers to ensure design meets system and market needs

Ensure seamless integration across global teams for multi-site program delivery

1. Technical & Architecture Leadership

Guide architecture decisions for digital control systems, power management FSMs, and system interfaces

Timing closure (STA, constraints)

DFT/scan and test readiness

Drive design reuse strategy to improve productivity and consistency

Establish a world-class DV capability including:

System Verilog/UVM environments

Formal verification where applicable

AMS/DMS co-simulation for mixed-signal validation

Define verification plans that ensure full coverage and sign-off confidence

Drive automation and regression efficiency to scale execution

3. Execution & Delivery

Own delivery across all digital and DV activities with clear accountability

Milestone planning

Risk tracking and mitigation

Ensure consistent on-time tape-out with high-quality silicon

4. Organization & Talent

Build and scale a high-performing digital & verification team

Define roles, expectations, and career progression aligned with job leveling frameworks

Develop technical leaders and mentors to increase organizational leverage

Drive hiring, retention, and capability growth aligned with site strategy

5. Methodology & Continuous Improvement

Institutionalize standardized design and verification flows

Drive continuous improvements in:

Productivity (reuse, automation)

Quality (coverage, bug escape reduction)

Efficiency (cycle time reduction)

Promote a culture of data-driven decision making and engineering rigor

The site becomes a strategic execution hub for mixed-signal digital and verification

Significant improvement in execution predictability and silicon success

Increased engineering productivity…
