ASIC SoC Verification Team Leader

Ericsson•Austin, TX

About The Position

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. 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.
