About Innoviz Technologies

Innoviz Technologies is a global leader in advanced LiDAR and perception solutions, enabling safer, smarter autonomous vehicles worldwide. Our next-generation ASIC platforms are at the core of this mission, powering the intelligence behind autonomous mobility.

About The Role

We’re looking for a highly experienced and motivated VLSI Manager to lead the development of our next-generation ASIC—from initial concept to final production. In this pivotal leadership role, you will own the full ASIC lifecycle, drive execution across global teams, and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver cutting-edge silicon that shapes the future of autonomous vehicles.

What You’ll Do

• Own and lead the end-to-end ASIC development process
• Serve as the central point of contact for all ASIC-related activities across Product, Firmware, Computer Vision, Hardware, and R&D stakeholders
• Drive the ASIC program work plan, ensuring alignment and coordination across global teams and multiple workstreams
• Define and enforce VLSI development methodologies, design flows, and quality standards
• Evaluate, select, and integrate both digital and analog IPs required for the ASIC
• Manage relationships and deliverables with external VLSI partners and service providers
• Ensure high-quality execution, risk management, and delivery across all project phases
  
  

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from a recognized institution
• Minimum 7 years of hands-on experience in microarchitecture and RTL design
• At least 3 years in a leadership role managing ASIC teams or projects
• Proven experience leading ASIC programs from concept through production
• Deep understanding of the full ASIC development lifecycle and technical requirements
• Strong experience in digital IP and SoC design, verification, and implementation methodologies
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (Lint, CDC analysis, simulation, debugging, synthesis, timing closure)
• Excellent communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills
  
  

• Familiarity with functional safety standards (ISO 26262)
• Experience with multi-core SoCs and security architectures (e.g., HSM)
• Background in computer vision, DSPs, or automotive systems
• Knowledge of automotive protocols (CAN, Automotive Ethernet, FlexRay, AUTOSAR)
• Experience with embedded software and low-power design techniques
• Prior collaboration with external back-end design teams
• Exposure to optical systems
