As the Design Verification Director, you will be responsible for all Design Verification-related activities for Lightmatter optical interconnect products.
Report directly to the VP of Photonics & Silicon Engineering. You will work closely with the Architecture, Digital, Analog, and photonics teams to accelerate the development of our Passage-based Optical Interconnect products. The overall DV tasks will include a mix of Digital, Analog Mixed-Signal, and photonic verification test bench development using state-of-the-art tools.
We are looking to welcome a leader with us who will shape the future of computing; join us!
Responsibilities:
Own the design verification details including the DV plan & execution for chip projects
Drive state-of-the-are DV methodology & flow for optical interconnect products
Work with architecture, hardware, software, systems, and program management teams to deliver state-of-the-art silicon products
Organize and expertly drive planning, scheduling, and day-to-day execution to support the design design team
Collaborate with leads and engineering teams in effectively estimating and prioritizing tasks to maintain high design quality on a realistic delivery schedule
Develop and lead project plans (scope, schedule, and budget) to ensure alignment with key partners and business needs
Facilitate recurring design verification team meetings and operational checkpoint activities throughout the life cycle of projects
Set clear and targeted communication to management on project information, including project plan, key dates, and project status
Provide the required hands-on project management, technical guidance to DV team, cross-functional coordination, and internal and external team communications to deliver outstanding program outcomes
Take responsibility for release schedules and milestones including keeping up a high velocity of execution progress in a fast-paced startup environment
