Responsibilities

Job Responsibilities:
Front-end Project Management: Oversee the complete lifecycle of front-end ASIC/SoC design and verification projects , from initial architecture definition and RTL coding to simulation, bug tracking, and final design handoff (RTL freeze).
Cross-Functional Coordination: Act as the central communication hub for the local engineering teams. Coordinate closely across architecture, RTL design, verification, and physical design (back-end) groups to ensure seamless collaboration and alignment on technical specifications.
Schedule & Resource Planning: Develop comprehensive project schedules, define milestones, and allocate resources efficiently within the local team. Monitor daily/weekly progress against baseline plans to ensure timely delivery of design targets.
Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify potential technical bottlenecks and schedule risks. Formulate effective mitigation strategies, drive cross-functional troubleshooting, and escalate critical issues to company management when necessary.
Quality & Methodology Assurance: Ensure the local team adheres to industry-standard design and verification methodologies. Monitor key metrics such as verification coverage, bug resolution rates, and design quality to ensure a flawless handoff to the back-end stages.
Process Optimization: Continuously evaluate and improve project management processes, workflows, and communication channels to enhance overall R&D efficiency and team productivity.
