Silicon Technology Manager

Cirrus Logic is seeking an experienced Silicon Technology Manager to lead the Silicon NPI team in support of mixed-signal product development. In this role, you will serve as the critical link between foundry process capabilities and the requirements of high-performance analog and mixed-signal design.

You will lead a team of engineers focused on solving complex silicon technology challenges across new product introduction, including safe operating area (SOA), design rule check (DRC) issues, device reliability, and process-related product risks. Success in this role requires strong technical depth, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to drive effective collaboration with foundry and internal teams to deliver solutions that meet performance, yield, cost, and schedule objectives.

Lead the Silicon NPI team in enabling successful mixed-signal product development from technology selection through production ramp

Bridge foundry process capabilities with product and design requirements to ensure robust, manufacturable silicon solutions

Guide resolution of critical silicon technology challenges, including SOA, DRC, reliability, and other process- or device-related product issues

Partner closely with design, PDK, product engineering, and foundry teams to identify root causes, evaluate tradeoffs, and implement corrective actions during development

Drive foundry engagement with clear technical priorities, measurable goals, and accountability to support NPI milestones

Use data-driven analysis to improve technology decisions, product performance, yield, and cost efficiency

Communicate technical risks, recommendations, and progress clearly to engineering stakeholders and executive leadership

Build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of Silicon Technology Engineers through coaching, mentoring, and technical guidance

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related technical field OR Ph.D. with a focus on semiconductor fabrication, semiconductor process technology, or solid-state device physics

10+ years of experience in semiconductor technology development, process integration, or fabrication environments

3+ years of experience in technical leadership and/or people management

Strong knowledge of CMOS technology, including semiconductor physics, transistor architecture, device characterization, safe operating area, and reliability

Hands-on experience in CMOS process integration, process control, and high-volume manufacturing

Demonstrated ability to collaborate across design, PDK, product, and foundry organizations to resolve product development issues

Strong organizational and project leadership skills, with the ability to drive external foundry partners toward timely, high-quality results

Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, including the ability to translate complex technical topics for non-specialist and executive audiences

Proven people leadership skills, with the ability to lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team
