+ Ensure compliance with JEDEC DDR5 specifications and alignment with evolving DDR6 standards and industry direction.

+ Lead post-silicon bring-up, characterization, debug, and yield improvement, including lab and customer-system correlation.

People & Organization Leadership

+ 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.

Program & Cross-Functional Execution

+ 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.

Methodology, Quality & Roadmap

+ 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

Qualifications

+ 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

Preferred Qualifications

+ 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.

Leadership Profile

+ 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

Company Description
