About the role
As a Senior Manager in the Computing & Graphics Architecture team, you will lead a team of microarchitecture engineers responsible for defining SOC designs across client, discrete graphics, handheld gaming, gaming console, and related platforms. You will guide microarchitecture specification definition from concept development through production, evaluating performance, power, area, and cost trade-offs.
What you'll do
- Lead and manage a team of design and microarchitecture engineers responsible for SOC definition across multiple concurrent programs.
- Own team schedules, deliverables, and commitments while coordinating coverage and tracking execution.
- Partner with SOC architecture, design, and execution teams to resolve program-level challenges.
- Champion development and adoption of AI-assisted engineering tools and workflows within the team.
- Mentor, coach, and develop engineers across all levels.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
- Work authorization in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Nice to have
- SOC expertise spanning multiple projects from architecture definition through tapeout.
- Expertise in RTL microarchitecture, digital design, implementation analysis, or industry-standard design methodologies.
- In-depth understanding of SoC infrastructure, including power management (power domains, sequencing, low-power states), clock and reset architecture, and integration of complex design IP.
- Experience managing RTL or design engineering teams with direct people leadership responsibility.
- Experience with AI/ML applications in engineering workflows, such as design automation, optimization, or data analytics.

How we counted: 1070 open Digital/RTL Design (RTL Design) roles from 105 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
