ASIC Technical Lead

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. 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. The role will be responsible for:• Owning ASIC requirements and technical specifications• Leading design and architecture reviews• Reviewing SPICE/Cadence simulations, DRC/LVS and DFT plans• Driving pre-tapeout technical readiness and sign-off• Supporting first-silicon bring-up and root-cause investigations• Managing technical risk across noise, power, matching and process corners• Leading technical review of any required respins• Supporting future-generation ASIC development Ideal background:✔️ 5+ years of ASIC/SoC design or development experience✔️ At least one full ASIC development cycle from concept through silicon/tapeout✔️ Strong analog or mixed-signal IC design/verification background✔️ Comfortable reviewing and challenging schematics and simulation results✔️ Experience working with an external design house, foundry or fab✔️ Medical device or implantable electronics experience is a plus, but not required 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.
