Radio Integration Lead
About the job
At Nordic Semiconductor we are looking for a Radio Integration Lead to own how our short-range radio IP gets designed into Nordic products. Our radio IP is reused across many SoCs and generations, and every integration brings its own mix of floorplan, supply, clocking, interference and verification challenges. This role makes sure those integrations go right the first time.
You will be the technical bridge between the radio IP team and the product design groups that consume the IP. That means being the person design teams come to with integration questions, setting the methodology for how integration is done and verified, and turning hard-won project experience into methodologies, guidelines, and documentation that scale beyond a single chip. You will work across RF and analog design, digital implementation, verification, systems and validation.
This is a technical leadership role. You will lead through expertise, methodology and cross-team influence rather than formal line management, while acting as the go-to authority on radio IP integration within Nordic.
Key responsibilities
As Radio Integration Lead you own how radio IP is delivered into and integrated within Nordic products. Your responsibilities include:
Support integration of the radio IP into Nordic products — work alongside product design teams from early planning through tape-out, resolving integration issues on floorplan, supplies, clocking, interfaces, isolation and interference
Define and drive the integration and verification methodology — establish how integrations are planned, executed, checked and signed off, and improve the flows, checklists and automation that make that repeatable across projects
Own the integration documentation and tools — define what the IP deliverables and integration guidelines must contain, drive their development and maintenance, and hold them to a quality standard that lets design teams work independently
Coordinate support to the design groups using the radio IP — triage and route incoming questions, prioritise across projects, and make sure issues are answered, tracked and closed with the right people involved
Participate in review of test results — assess verification and silicon measurement data from integrated products, judge whether the radio meets expectations in context, and drive root-cause work when it does not
Keep integration status and risk visible — provide clear, honest reporting to project and product stakeholders, and escalate early when an integration is heading off track
Key Qualifications
Bachelor, MSc or PhD in Electronics, Telecommunications, Physics or equivalent — or equivalent practical experience
Several years of experience with IC design or integration, including hands-on work on RF/analog IP or mixed-signal SoCs
Practical knowledge of integration-critical topics: power supply and regulation, clocking and reference distribution, substrate and supply noise coupling, isolation, ESD and floorplan constraints
Familiarity with mixed-signal implementation and verification flows, and with the deliverables an IP hand-off consists of
Proven ability to lead technical work across teams and to communicate clearly with both engineers and management
Structured approach to documentation and process, and the discipline to keep it current
Good written and verbal communication skills in English
Personal Skills
We are looking for a structured and pragmatic colleague who enjoys being the person others come to when something does not add up. You are comfortable holding a quality line while making sensible calls under schedule pressure, you are patient enough to write things down properly, and you would rather fix the underlying cause instead of fixing issues over and over again. You build good working relationships across teams, share what you know, and see improving how the organisation works as part of the job.
