Supervised off-site contractor team that built several analog IP blocks. Provided scheduling, IP view generation, simulation and layout support and supervision as required. Involved from definition through implementation and production on several different application processor and microcontroller platforms in 40nm and 28nm technologies. Successful IP delivered for the i.MX 7ULP, i.MX8 Series, i.MX RT Series, and K4F1.-IP included integer and fractional PLLs for use as system clocks in cores and PHYs.-Helped manage delivery of a High Speed USB PHY and a Full Speed USB Transceiver.-Managed people responsible for analog circuit design, layout, place and route of digital sub-systems, and behavioral modeling.-Generated required integration views and provided integration support to multiple SoC teams on multiple platforms.-Provided simulation, schematic, and layout support as needed during implementation.-Worked with digital front end and back and engineers to integrate the analog portion into a hardened digital-on-top block. -Worked with the validation team to characterize IP performance.-Responsible for driving resolution of performance issues.-Performed design, simuluation, and layout for changes to the PLLs based on platform differences.
