Role Title: AV&V Manager

Role Summary: Own end-to-end functional validation activities of the first T28 industrial ASIC for the ASM Industrial business. This role combines AV&V team ownership with functional team leadership, flawless post-silicon execution, FPGA prototyping, and hardware emulation to ensure our highly differentiated products meet the highest quality standards.

What you will gain from this role:

• Lead SoC Validation, FPGA & Emulation for cutting-edge wireless connectivity devices.

• Global Exposure: Opportunity to interact with world-wide teams for FPGA prototyping, emulation, post-silicon validation, and system integration.

• Strategic Impact: Identify, define, and drive advanced methodologies to improve the quality, coverage, and efficiency of FPGA prototypes, hardware emulation, and post-silicon validation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Team Leadership: Drive results, manage execution timelines, and own the career growth and mentorship of the complete AVnV ( Functional Validation), FPGA, and Post-Silicon Validation team.
• FPGA Prototyping & Emulation: Drive SoC prototyping and validation strategies using high-performance platforms, specifically FPGA (e.g., Xilinx/AMD, Intel) and Palladium hardware emulation environments.
• Silicon Bring-up: Lead the planning and execution of post-silicon bring-up, functional validation, and characterization activities across temperature and voltage corners.
• Board-Level Concepts: Architect, review, and oversee the development of complex validation boards, custom FPGA prototyping boards, reference platforms, and test fixtures required for silicon evaluation.
• Cross-Functional Debug: Interact heavily with Test, Software/ROM, Application Engineering, and Analog Design teams to isolate, root-cause, and debug complex silicon bugs using both lab equipment and FPGA/Emulation trace environments.
• Influence & Governance: Participate in and conduct rigorous hardware design reviews, board schematic reviews, and post-silicon/FPGA readiness gates.
• Methodology Innovation: Innovate and drive improved validation methodologies and automation frameworks, collaborating with EDA and instrument vendors to upgrade lab tools, FPGA synthesis/mapping tools, and emulation flows.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering.
• Experience: Minimum of 8+ years of experience in semiconductor validation and prototyping, with a proven track record of managing or leading engineering teams.
• Technical Depth: Strong understanding of board-level hardware concepts, high-speed signal integrity, lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), FPGA prototyping workflows, and emulation platforms (Palladium).
• Leadership Skills: Ability to drive results from the team even without having complete command of a specific domain.
• Stakeholder Management: Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders critical to success, both internally and externally.
• Soft Skills: Strong verbal/written communication, time management, analytical problem-solving, and a result-driven attitude to handle dynamically evolving requirements.
