Senior SoC (System on Chip) Design Manager — Hyderabad, India
Company: Azimuth AI
Department: Hardware Engineering
Reports To: Vice President, Hardware Engineering
About Azimuth AI
At Azimuth AI, we’re redefining the boundaries of embedded intelligence. We build Software-Defined Custom SoCs that power the next generation of AI-enabled embedded systems — delivering breakthrough efficiency, configurability, and performance at the edge.
Our mixed-signal (analog + digital) SoCs are built on ARM-based compute architectures, seamlessly integrating Azimuth AI’s proprietary Neural Network Engine (NNE) alongside leading third-party IPs. These chips enable powerful, software-defined AI workloads across applications such as autonomous systems, industrial automation, intelligent sensors, and connected devices.
We are a team of builders, innovators, and system thinkers who believe that the future of AI isn’t confined to the cloud — it lives everywhere intelligence is needed.
The Role
As Senior SoC Design Manager, you will lead the design and development of Azimuth AI’s next-generation mixed-signal, ARM-based SoCs. You will build and guide a world-class engineering team in Hyderabad and play a critical role in shaping our silicon roadmap for embedded AI compute.
You’ll work at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI, driving end-to-end SoC execution — from concept and architecture through tape-out and production. This is a high-impact, senior leadership role for someone who thrives on both technical excellence and organizational leadership.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the design, development, and delivery of mixed-signal SoCs integrating ARM cores, analog interfaces, and custom AI acceleration IP.
- Manage and mentor a talented team of design engineers, fostering innovation, ownership, and collaboration.
- Work cross-functionally with system architects, firmware, and software teams to achieve true hardware–software co-design for software-defined flexibility.
- Drive SoC design flow optimization across RTL, verification, physical implementation, and silicon validation.
- Partner with EDA vendors, foundries, and IP suppliers to deliver first-pass silicon success on advanced technology nodes.
- Contribute to Azimuth AI’s long-term silicon and embedded AI compute roadmap.
- Shape design methodologies, quality standards, and technical culture within the hardware engineering organization.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
- 12+ years of SoC/ASIC design experience with at least 5 years of leadership or management roles.
- Proven track record of mixed-signal SoC tape-outs — ideally in embedded, automotive, or AI-driven applications.
- Deep understanding of ARM-based architectures, RTL design, IP integration, and analog/digital co-design.
- Strong knowledge of verification, timing closure, and silicon bring-up methodologies.
- Experience integrating AI accelerators, NNEs, or domain-specific compute IPs.
- Excellent leadership, communication, and collaboration skills across global, cross functional teams.
Why Join Us
- Build cutting-edge Software-Defined SoCs that push the boundaries of embedded intelligence.
- Lead a world-class design team working on high-impact, real-world AI products.
- Collaborate with some of the brightest minds in AI, compute architecture, and hardware design.
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and growth opportunities within a fast-scaling deep tech company.
