The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of the complete semiconductor product lifecycle—from Pre-Silicon through Post-Silicon, Embedded Software, Device Connectivity, Cloud Integration, and Product Sustenance—and be able to translate complex customer requirements into scalable engineering solutions.

This role requires a blend of technical breadth, business acumen, consultative selling, solution architecture, executive communication, and commercial awareness.

Role Overview: Act as the primary technical advisor for customers in Semiconductor and Connected Products, driving digital engineering transformation from pre-sales through delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Customer Engagement: Lead discovery workshops with Engineering, Product, and Executive stakeholders; build trusted relationships with CTOs and technical leaders; identify transformation opportunities.
• Solution Architecture: Design end-to-end engineering solutions and transformation roadmaps (concept to commercialization); define scalable delivery models and reusable frameworks/accelerators.
• Pre-Sales & Business Development: Partner with Sales to qualify opportunities, lead technical discussions, prepare RFP/RFI responses and SOWs, build estimates, present proposals, and support pricing/negotiations.
• Delivery Collaboration: Transition won deals to delivery teams, ensure architectural governance, and resolve technical risks for successful outcomes.

Semiconductor Solutioning:

• Pre-Silicon: ASIC/SoC/IP design, RTL, verification (UVM), FPGA/emulation, STA, physical design, DFT, low-power & performance optimization.
• Post-Silicon: Silicon/board bring-up, validation, characterization, lab automation, failure analysis, yield, manufacturing test, system integration.

Connected Devices & Intelligent Products:

• Solutions across consumer electronics, IoT, medical, automotive, telecom, robotics, and edge AI.
• Engineering expertise in embedded Linux, RTOS, BSP, firmware, device drivers, security, OTA, and edge computing.

Cloud Connected Engineering:

• Architecting device-to-cloud integration using AWS/Azure/Google IoT, MQTT, REST APIs, digital twins, telemetry, and AI/ML integration.

Required Expertise:

• Semiconductor (ASIC, SoC, FPGA, verification, DFT), Embedded Systems (Linux, RTOS, C/C++, ARM), Connectivity (BLE, Wi-Fi, 5G, CAN, USB, etc.), Cloud & Edge AI, Device Security.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• 15–20 years of experience in Semiconductor, Embedded Systems, Connected Devices, or Digital Engineering.
• 5+ years in Solution Architecture, Consulting, Technical Sales, or Customer Solutioning.
• Strong understanding of the complete semiconductor product lifecycle, including Pre-Silicon and Post-Silicon engineering.
• Proven ability to create end-to-end engineering solutions across hardware, firmware, software, cloud, and AI.
• Experience supporting large digital engineering pursuits exceeding multi-million-dollar engagements.
• Strong commercial understanding of engineering services delivery models.
• Excellent communication, presentation, proposal writing, and executive stakeholder management skills.
