Job Description
We're partnering with a cutting-edge medical technology company in San Diego that is looking for an experienced ASIC Technical Lead to take technical ownership of a highly sophisticated mixed-signal ASIC program.
\n
\n
This is a unique opportunity to serve as the internal technical authority for a high-channel-count neural recording chip being developed with an external IC design partner.
\n
\n
The role will be responsible for:
\n
• Owning ASIC requirements and technical specifications
\n
• Leading design and architecture reviews
\n
• Reviewing SPICE/Cadence simulations, DRC/LVS and DFT plans
\n
• Driving pre-tapeout technical readiness and sign-off
\n
• Supporting first-silicon bring-up and root-cause investigations
\n
• Managing technical risk across noise, power, matching and process corners
\n
• Leading technical review of any required respins
\n
• Supporting future-generation ASIC development
\n
\n
Ideal background:
\n
✔️ 5+ years of ASIC/SoC design or development experience
\n
✔️ At least one full ASIC development cycle from concept through silicon/tapeout
\n
✔️ Strong analog or mixed-signal IC design/verification background
\n
✔️ Comfortable reviewing and challenging schematics and simulation results
\n
✔️ Experience working with an external design house, foundry or fab
\n
✔️ Medical device or implantable electronics experience is a plus, but not required
\n
\n
This is not a role where you’re simply managing a vendor, they need someone technically deep enough to independently assess the design, identify issues, and ensure the silicon ultimately meets specification.
