About the Role

Lead the transformation of silicon engineering by inventing the future of AI-driven silicon CAD and methodology. Shape how Artificial Intelligence enters the silicon design process, build the engineering intelligence layer for Ericsson's 5G and 6G silicon ambitions, influence EDA vendor roadmaps, and pioneer AI-assisted workflows.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the long-term vision for a unified Silicon CAD organization spanning FE CAD and BE CAD.
• Lead end-to-end CAD capabilities from RTL to GDSII — simulation, synthesis, CI/CD, P&R, STA, and signoff flows — with precision and scalability.
• Pioneer AI-driven silicon engineering — intelligent automation, AI-assisted design workflows, predictive tape-out analytics, and next-generation engineering copilots.
• Drive standardization and innovation across methodologies, infrastructure, and engineering workflows at global scale.
• Build strategic EDA and foundry partnerships that give Ericsson a technical edge and help shape what the industry builds next.
• Lead methodology transformation initiatives targeting productivity, PPA optimization, and execution predictability.
• Build and develop world-class CAD teams across global sites — attracting, growing, and inspiring top engineering talent.
• Foster a culture of technical excellence, ownership, innovation, and relentless improvement.
• Enable faster, higher-quality silicon delivery by turning data, automation, and AI into a genuine competitive advantage.

Requirements

• Several years in semiconductor engineering, with significant leadership in Silicon CAD, design methodology, or silicon infrastructure.
• Deep expertise across FE CAD and BE CAD — you understand the full flow from RTL to GDSII and can lead at every layer.
• Proven experience scaling CAD organizations in demanding, high-performance silicon environments.
• Demonstrated success partnering with EDA vendors and influencing technical roadmaps at the strategic level.
• A track record of driving large-scale methodology transitions and automation programs that actually ship.
• Comfort with data-driven engineering operations — you make decisions with evidence, not instinct alone.
• The leadership presence to navigate organizational complexity and lead through change.
