* Drive Technical Strategy: Define the digital architectural roadmap for motor drivers, ensuring alignment between team output and broader global product lines.
* Manage Resources & Risk: Proactively identify technical bottlenecks or resource gaps within the team.
* Cross‑Functional Interface: Act as the primary digital technical point of contact for the Edinburgh centre when communicating with Marketing, Systems, and Analog Design.
* Mentor and Collaborate: Act as a technical leader, mentoring junior engineers and fostering a collaborative environment across the multi‑site team.
* Guarantee First‑Pass Silicon Success: Partner with the verification team to define success criteria, ensure comprehensive functional coverage, and oversee Functional Safety (FuSa) compliance (ISO 26262).
Qualifications
* Proven Leadership: 2+ years of experience leading small‑to‑medium sized design teams.
* Process Advocate: Deep understanding of the Digital Design Workflow with a proven commitment to maintaining high quality standards and execution excellence.
* Technical Expertise: 8+ years in digital design or architecture, ranging from complex algorithmic IP to full SoC designs including CPU subsystems and interconnect fabrics (e.g., AMBA/AXI).
* Academic Background: PhD or Master’s degree in Electronics or a related field.
* Communication Specialist: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical roadmaps to diverse audiences.
Additional Skills (Plus if you have)
* Expertise with Cadence toolsets for the entire front‑end design flow.
* Direct experience leading ISO 26262 compliant designs (ASIL B/D).
Travel Requirements
This role may require domestic and international travel up to 10‑20% to support customers, vendors, and off‑site design teams in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
