- Define and optimize logic design methodologies to improve power, performance, and area.
- Analyze retrospective data to identify gaps in quality and efficiency, driving incremental, evolutionary, or transformative changes to the existing TFM.
- Collaborate with logic design teams to define best practices and enable fast design convergence.
- Ensure seamless handoff and reuse between IPs and SoCs through robust design methodologies.
- Stay ahead of industry trends to ensure methodologies align with emerging architectures and process technology nodes.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's or BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience with a Bachelor's degree, 2+ years with a Master's degree, or 0 years with a PhD.
- Expertise in RTL design and verification processes.
- Proficiency with EDA tools used in logic design (e.g., synthesis, static timing analysis, formal verification).
- Strong programming and scripting skills (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL, or similar).

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with logic design methodologies for advanced process nodes.
- Familiarity with power, performance, and area optimization techniques.
- Proven ability to collaborate across teams and disciplines to drive complex technical solutions.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify and address design challenges.
