You setting technical direction with your team, making architectural tradeoffs, and driving design decisions for current and nextgeneration PCIe IP. You are comfortable working directly with RTL, reviewing detailed design implementations, and guiding engineers through complex debug and convergence challenges. Your background includes exposure to adjacent interconnect technologies such as CXL, AMBA, DDR, and UCIe.

As a experienced leader, you foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and technical excellence. You mentor engineers through handson guidance and design reviews, communicate clearly across disciplines, and work closely with crossfunctional teams to deliver highquality, siliconproven PCIe IP for commercial, enterprise, and automotive applications.

What You'll Be Doing:

Leading and managing a team of ASIC digital design engineers, providing daytoday technical guidance, mentoring, and performance management.

Owning PCIe digital architecture and RTL design execution, remaining handson while leading design efforts at block, subsystem, and IPintegration levels.
Defining microarchitecture, design specifications, and implementation approaches for highperformance, powerefficient, and scalable PCIe designs.
Leading endtoend digital design activities, including architecture definition, RTL development, debug, design convergence, and postsilicon support.
Serving as the PCIe technical architect for the team, guiding key design decisions and resolving complex technical issues.
Planning and prioritizing design work, balancing handson technical involvement with team execution, schedules, and resource needs.
Driving design quality through rigorous design reviews, coding standards, and RTL maintainability practices.
Collaborating closely with verification, physical design, formal, emulation, firmware and system teams to ensure smooth IP integration and silicon success.
Coaching and developing engineers through handson technical mentoring, design feedback, and career development discussions.
Promoting a culture of technical ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement within the team.
Identifying opportunities to improve AI- driven design methodologies, workflows, and productivity, while keeping focus on design execution.
Communicating design status, technical risks, and tradeoffs effectively to senior management and crossfunctional stakeholders.

The Impact You Will Have:

Deliver industryleading PCIe digital IP with high performance, robustness, and scalability.
Drive strong architectural and design execution for PCIe cores used by leading customers.
Improve design quality, predictability, and execution efficiency through strong technical leadership.
Build and lead a highly capable ASIC digital design team with deep PCIe expertise.
Strengthen Synopsys' position as a leader in highspeed interface IP across commercial, enterprise, and automotive markets.

What You'll Need:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) with 12+ years of experience, or Master's degree (MSEE) with 10+ years.

Demonstrated experience as a team lead or people manager in an ASIC digital design environment.
Extensive handson ASIC RTL design experience, with direct ownership of complex digital designs.
Deep expertise in PCIe digital design and architecture; experience with CXL, DDR, AMBA, UCIe, or related protocols is highly desirable.
Strong understanding of ASIC design fundamentals including clocking, resets, lowpower techniques, and design for test.
Proven ability to define PCIe microarchitecture and drive designs from concept through silicon.
Experience with AI-driven tools, flows and methodologies. Familiarity with scripting languages (Perl, TCL, Python) for design automation is a plus.

Who You Are:

Demonstrated experience as a team lead or people manager in an ASIC digital design environment.

A handson PCIe architect who enjoys leading by technical example.
Comfortable balancing design execution with team leadership responsibilities.
A clear communicator who works effectively across engineering disciplines.
A collaborative leader who values quality, ownership, and knowledge sharing.
