Senior Director, Physical Design & Backend Engineering (HPC)
Core
Lead end-to-end backend execution for HPC SoC and MCU programs from RTL to GDS, ensuring on-time silicon delivery and PPA targets.
Role type
Senior Director, Physical Design & Backend Engineering
Builds
High-performance SoC and MCU silicon
Domain
Semiconductor / Hardware Design / HPC
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> physical/clinical work (Note: This is a hardware role, but the standard list doesn't have 'silicon'. I will map 'physical/clinical work' as the closest physical output category or omit if strict. Actually, looking at the list: 'physical/clinical work' is the only one fitting hardware manufacturing. However, the instruction says 'one of: ...'. I will use 'physical/clinical work' as it represents physical hardware delivery in this context, or better yet, since the list is fixed, I must choose one. 'physical/clinical work' is the only one that isn't software/research. Let's re-read the list: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. This is a hardware role. 'product features' or 'infrastructure' might be too software. 'physical/clinical work' is the best fit for 'silicon'.)
