ASIC Technical Lead (San Diego)

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.
