• Define and articulate the Mixed-Signal Analog IP product development strategy, aligning it with business goals, technology roadmaps, and market trends.
• Drive innovation and differentiation across power management, interface, and sensor IP portfolios.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and ecosystem trends (such as UCIe, chiplet architectures, and low-power design) to identify new opportunities for IP development.
• Collaborate with executive leadership to set long-term objectives and investment priorities for the Mixed-Signal IP portfolio.

Product Development & Engineering Execution

• Lead cross-functional teams in architecture, circuit design, verification, validation, and system integration to deliver high-quality Mixed-Signal Analog IPs.
• Oversee the complete IP lifecycle, from concept, design, and simulation to validation, silicon characterization, and product qualification.
• Establish robust engineering processes emphasizing first-time-right silicon, design reuse, and power-performance optimization.
• Ensure IP design compliance with performance, reliability, manufacturability, and integration requirements.
• Collaborate with foundry and packaging partners to optimize yield, quality, and production scalability.

Team Leadership & Organizational Development

• Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing team of analog/mixed-signal design engineers, product managers, and validation experts.
• Create a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and innovation across design and development teams.
• Attract and develop top talent; establish clear competency frameworks and career growth paths.
• Lead multi-geo teams effectively, driving collaboration between design centers, ecosystem partners, and key customers.

Product Strategy & Market Alignment

• Translate customer requirements and market insights into actionable IP specifications and technology roadmaps.
• Partner with business, sales, and customer engineering teams to define IP positioning, go-to-market strategy, and customer engagement models.
• Prioritize IP development initiatives based on ROI, technical differentiation, and market demand.
• Engage with strategic customers and partners to ensure roadmap alignment with system-level integration needs.

Operational Excellence & Governance

• Define and monitor KPIs for IP quality, design efficiency, schedule adherence, and innovation metrics.
• Implement best practices in Agile/Lean development and design governance for IP programs.
• Drive continuous improvement through design reviews, silicon feedback loops, and data-driven decision-making.
• Represent the Product Development organization in executive reviews and board-level discussions.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field; Ph.D. preferred.
• 20+ years of progressive experience in analog/mixed-signal IP development, with at least 10+ years in leadership roles driving IP design, validation, and delivery.
• Proven success in managing large-scale design teams and cross-functional engineering programs in leading semiconductor or IP companies.
• Deep technical expertise in analog, power management, high-speed interfaces (UCIe), memory subsystems, and sensor integration.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor IP lifecycle, EDA tools, and silicon manufacturing flows.
• Demonstrated ability to build and scale world-class engineering teams and deliver complex IP portfolios to market.
