Senior Manager, Post-Silicon Bring-Up leads the end-to-end execution plan for complex, high-performance silicon products from first power-on through production qualification and volume ramp. This role involves managing multi-functional teams across architecture, design, verification, firmware, software, boards, systems, test, product engineering, and operations to achieve bring-up, debug, validation, and productization goals. The manager is responsible for resolving sophisticated issues involving power, clocks, reset, boot, interfaces, performance, reliability, and hardware-software interactions while driving silicon characterization and reliability qualification plans including electrical, speed, power, thermal, environmental, and operational conditions. Key technical competencies include deep knowledge of digital design, system architecture, timing, noise, fault analysis, and automotive qualification flows like AEC-Q100. The role focuses on moving complex SoCs, GPUs, or ASICs from early lab readiness to high-volume production while establishing robust bring-up methodologies and execution processes.
Execute silicon characterization and reliability qualification plans across electrical, speed, power, thermal, and environmental conditions.
Establish and improve bring-up methodologies, test planning, and debug readiness to increase program speed and quality.
Communicate readiness, risks, and recovery plans to senior leadership to balance schedule and production objectives.
Shape the post-silicon roadmap by applying findings to design, verification, and productization flows.
What we're looking for
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
Overall experience and management experience.
Proven leadership in post-silicon bring-up, validation, debug, or productization for complex SoCs, GPUs, ASICs, or systems.
Deep technical understanding of digital design, architecture, power, timing, clocking, reset, noise, fault analysis, and hardware-software interactions.
Experience with post-silicon debug and validation flows including lab execution, test planning, and data-driven issue management.
Familiarity with silicon characterization and reliability qualification (e.g., PVT, HTOL, ELFR) and AEC-Q100 for automotive programs.
Experience leading bring-up for SoC- or GPU-class silicon or highly integrated platform programs (preferred).
Hands-on experience with first power-on, binning, reliability qualification, or production ramp (preferred).
