What is a SoC Technical Lead?

SoC (System on Chip) Technical Leads are professionals responsible for overseeing the design, development, and integration of complex semiconductor chips that combine multiple components onto a single substrate. They coordinate engineering teams, define technical specifications, and ensure that the SoC meets performance, power, and cost requirements. Their role involves both hands-on technical work and project leadership, making them pivotal in delivering functional and efficient chips for electronics like smartphones, tablets, and automotive systems.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a SoC Technical Lead?

To thrive as a SoC Technical Lead, you need a strong background in system-on-chip architecture, digital and analog design principles, and a relevant engineering degree, often with several years of industry experience. Familiarity with EDA tools like Cadence or Synopsys, RTL design languages (such as Verilog or VHDL), and knowledge of verification methodologies are typically required. Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills set top candidates apart by enabling effective team guidance and cross-functional collaboration. These skills and qualifications are crucial for delivering complex SoC projects efficiently, ensuring technical excellence, and leading teams through the design and verification lifecycle.

What are some common challenges faced by SoC Technical Leads when coordinating cross-functional teams?

SoC Technical Leads often face the challenge of aligning diverse teams such as hardware, software, verification, and validation to ensure smooth project execution. Effective communication and the ability to translate technical requirements across specialties are essential, as misunderstandings can result in costly delays. Additionally, balancing tight project deadlines with evolving specifications requires strong organizational skills and proactive risk management. Building trust and fostering collaboration among team members from different technical backgrounds is key to delivering a successful SoC product.

Job description

The Superchip SoC TPM advises the effective completion and tapeout of a complex multi-die SoC. This role takes charge of the full SoC program, steering the schedule, leading cross-die interactions, mitigating risks, verifying engineering readiness, and providing executive supervision. Those in the TPM role for Superchip collaborate closely with Die TPMs, Functional TPMs, and engineering management. They function as the program’s orchestrator. Their role secures delivery according to schedule, budget, and quality requirements!

Responsibilities:
  • Lead the overall SoC execution plan, coordinated master schedule, and tapeout readiness!
  • Lead and coordinate Die TPMs to maintain consistency across all silicon dies.
  • Drive cross-die integration, dependencies, critical path, and engineering readiness.
  • Partner with Functional TPMs (Front-End, Verification & Validation, Physical Build, Power & Performance, IP Management, Early Enablement, Post-Silicon, and Solution Engineering) to supervise execution health, review metrics, and drive focused deep dives where required.
  • Work closely with Chip Leads, Die Leads, Domain Leads, IP Technical Leads, and Engineering Managers to maintain technical and execution alignment.
  • Own overall program risk management, mitigation planning, and executive issues.
  • Coordinate and lead major SoC governance events, including landmark reviews, architecture reviews, tapeout readiness reviews, executive reviews, and multi-functional readiness reviews.
  • Partner with the IP Management TPM to guarantee Third Party IP planning, vendor readiness, and IP reviews align with program objectives.
  • Coordinate with the Post-Silicon TPM during the pre-silicon phase to ensure validation planning, lab readiness, resource planning, and smooth ownership transition after tapeout.
  • Collaborate with the Solution TPM to ensure alignment on board readiness, software enablement, customer platform requirements, and overall solution planning.
  • Consolidate program metrics, analyze trends, provide actionable insights, and support executive decision-making.
  • Supervise overall program resources and engineering costs to ensure execution remains aligned with business objectives.
Required Skills and Experience:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 20+ years of semiconductor shown experience.
  • Minimum 5 years of Technical Program Management experience leading large-scale SoC programs.
  • Confirmed experience leading the development and finalization of sophisticated datacenter-class SoCs.
  • Strong understanding of the complete SoC development lifecycle from architecture through tapeout.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead large multi-functional engineering organizations without direct authority.
  • Technical expertise and experience in one or more of the silicon build functional areas.
Desired Skills and Experience:
  • Experience with multi-die/chiplet architectures.
  • Experience leading multiple Die TPMs and Functional TPMs.
  • Experience with Hyperscalers or AI/datacenter silicon.
  • Strong executive communication and collaborator leadership skills.

We're looking for a collaborative and hardworking Technical Program Manager to join our team and help drive the successful delivery of next-generation SoC programs.
