ASIC SoC Verification Team Leader
Austin, Texas
About the Team
You'll be joining Ericsson Silicon - the team building the custom ASICs that power the world's most advanced 5G networks. Reporting directly to the Head of ASIC SoC within Product Engineering Unit Silicon, you'll lead a unit of verification engineers responsible for driving Top-Level Verification (TLV) across Radio and RAN Compute packaged ASICs.
This is a seat at the table. You'll be an active member of the ASIC SoC Leadership Team, working in close collaboration with other sectors across Product Engineering Unit Silicon to shape how world-class silicon gets verified and shipped.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced, energetic leader who knows how to build high-performing verification teams and keep them sharp, motivated, and aligned. You'll own the TLV function for some of the most complex ASIC designs on the market - and your fingerprints will be on every tapeout.
This isn't a role for someone who manages from a distance. The best candidate naturally thrives on the challenge of coordinating across time zones, cultures, and disciplines, balancing diplomatic stakeholder management with the assertiveness to drive decisions and hold the line on quality.

Join our Team
About this opportunity:
You will:• Be empowered and tasked with improving PPA of Ericsson ASICs• Evaluate feasibility of architectural features through back-end implementation• Partner with front end design teams to address timing, power and congestion challenges• Deliver a synthesized netlist to ASIC BE vendor, and collaborate with vendor to address physical design tradeoffs• Work with DFT and architecture teams to develop timing constraints• Provide technical leadership and direction for junior members of the team• Participate in defining flows, methods and drive continuous improvement
Solid understanding of core ASIC disciplines - Architecture, Design, Scalability, Technology Portability, TLV and Integration methodologies, and productization
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
The Mindset We're Hiring For:
You generate energy in a room - people leave your conversations more motivated than when they arrived
You can hold a diplomatic conversation and a firm position at the same time
You see mentoring and developing people as a core part of the job, not an afterthought
You're comfortable with ambiguity, complexity, and the pace of cutting-edge silicon development
What Success Looks Like
A great leader in this role will build a verification unit that is technically sharp, consistently delivering on TLV milestones, and seen as a trusted partner by every team in PEU Silicon. Your engineers will grow under your leadership, your stakeholders will respect your judgment, and the ASICs that leave this team will be verified to the highest standard in the industry.
