Strategic Sourcing Engineer, Silicon

Focus on the evaluation and technical support of EDA, chiplets and IP solutions for various silicon designs. Lead the technical evaluation of various solutions to determine the best fit for internal design requirements (EDA, Chiplet, IP Evaluation). Evaluate processor cores, interconnect IP, memory controllers, and peripheral IP from multiple vendors. Benchmark chiplet and IP solutions for performance, power efficiency, area, and integration complexity. Work closely with design teams to support the integration of chiplet-based architectures and IP blocks into SoC designs. Work with internal team and ecosystem vendors to troubleshoot and resolve issues related to EDA, IP and chiplets during various stages of the design cycle. Act as the primary point of contact with EDA, IP and chiplet vendors for technical discussions, updates, and feature requests; ensuring adherence to quality, delivery, and service level agreements. Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and market conditions to recommend innovative and cost-effective solutions. Work closely with engineering, operations, and product management teams to understand silicon solution requirements. Provide recommendations for improving design flow efficiency when integrating EDA, chiplets and IP cores, ensuring high performance, power, and area efficiency. Create internal documentation for evaluation reports, benchmark and proposed solution for optimal performance and TCO.
