Job Details:Job Description: 

We are seeking an experienced Director of Analog Design & Infrastructure Design Automation to lead the development, deployment, and governance of analog/mixed-signal design environments and CAD infrastructure. This role owns EDA tool ecosystems, PDK integration, compute infrastructure, design data governance, and tapeout manifest management to ensure high productivity, reproducibility, and audit readiness across silicon programs.

The ideal candidate combines deep analog/mixed-signal design flow expertise with strong infrastructure leadership and disciplined configuration/data management practices.

Key Responsibilities

1. Analog Design Environment & Flow Management

• Own and maintain analog and mixed-signal design flows using platforms such as Virtuoso and Custom Compiler.
• Manage PDK integration, validation, and controlled release in collaboration with foundries.
• Develop and maintain schematic, layout, verification, and extraction flows (LVS, DRC, PEX, EM/IR).
• Support simulation environments including Spectre, HSPICE, Monte Carlo, corner, and reliability analysis.
• Drive automation and methodology improvements to reduce turnaround time and increase design robustness.

2. Infrastructure & Compute Management

• Oversee Linux-based DA infrastructure including compute farms, storage systems, and license servers (FlexLM).
• Manage LSF/grid environments and job scheduling systems.
• Ensure scalability, system monitoring, high availability, and performance optimization.
• Partner with IT on hardware lifecycle planning, cloud integration, and disaster recovery.
• Maintain secure, access-controlled design environments aligned with IP protection policies.

3. Design Data, Manifest & Configuration Management

Design Data Governance

• Manage large-scale analog design libraries, hierarchical database structures, and technology libraries.
• Define backup, archival, and retention policies for tapeout-critical data.
• Implement data integrity validation and corruption prevention controls.
• Oversee distributed storage systems optimized for EDA workloads.

Manifest & Tapeout Release Management

• Own creation and governance of tapeout manifests including:
  • PDK versions
  • Tool versions
  • Extraction/verification decks
  • Simulation models
  • Signoff configurations
• Establish reproducible environment release frameworks for analog programs.
• Implement controlled qualification flows for tool/PDK upgrades prior to production rollout.
• Maintain environment snapshots to ensure reproducibility and post-silicon traceability.
• Support formal tapeout readiness and design signoff reviews.

Version Control & Configuration Management

• Deploy and manage version control systems (Git, SVN, Perforce) for:
  • CAD scripts and automation
  • Methodology flows
  • PDK overlays
  • Verification decks
• Define branching, tagging, and release strategies for multi-project and multi-node environments.
• Implement dependency tracking across tools, PDKs, IP, and infrastructure.
• Apply infrastructure-as-code principles where applicable.

Automation & Traceability

• Develop automated environment capture tools to log tool versions, library states, and system configurations.
• Enable reproducible simulations and environment packaging.
• Create dashboards and reporting metrics for design data health and DA service KPIs.

4. Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Lead and mentor DA and infrastructure engineers.
• Serve as the primary interface between analog design, digital CAD, IT, and EDA vendors.
• Drive tool evaluations, upgrades, and vendor negotiations.
• Develop internal documentation, training programs, and best practices.
• Establish measurable service-level KPIs and continuously improve DA operations.

Required Skills and Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with analog design platforms such as Virtuoso and Custom Compiler.
• Deep understanding of analog layout, verification flows, PDK integration, and tapeout processes.
• Proven experience managing design data governance and tapeout manifest control.
• Strong Linux system administration and scripting skills (Python, Tcl, Shell).
• Experience with compute grid management, storage architecture, and license management.
• Expertise in version control and configuration management systems.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience with advanced nodes (FinFET, GAA).
• Familiarity with cloud-based EDA deployment models.
• Knowledge of CI/CD practices applied to EDA environments.
• Experience supporting geographically distributed design teams.
• Strong budgeting and vendor management experience.

Key Competencies

• Technical depth in analog CAD methodologies
• Strong data governance and release discipline
• Strategic infrastructure planning
• Cross-functional leadership
• Process-driven execution with audit readiness mindset

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal design or CAD support.
• 5+ years of leadership experience.
