Annapurna Labs, an Amazon company, is seeking an exceptional an exceptional leader to build and lead our next-generation internal Analog IP design team. This is a unique opportunity to create a world-class analog design center from the ground up, developing the critical IP blocks that power all of our custom silicon products, including Graviton (server CPUs) and Nitro (networking/security accelerators).

At Annapurna Labs, we think big in both scale and scope. We are building internal capabilities for cutting-edge analog IP that will define the next era of cloud infrastructure silicon. This role is an opportunity to shape the analog IP strategy across all our products and lead the team that delivers it.

Key job responsibilities
Build the team: Recruit, hire, and develop a world-class analog/mixed-signal design team from the ground up. Define the org structure, roles, and growth path.

Define the IP strategy: Own the analog IP roadmap across all Annapurna Labs products. Evaluate build vs. buy decisions and drive internal capability development.

Drive execution: Lead the full design cycle from architecture through silicon validation — spec, schematic, layout, simulation, tapeout, and bring-up.

Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with SoC architecture, digital design, physical design, DFT, packaging, and system teams to integrate analog IP seamlessly.

Set technical direction: Define design methodologies, flows, and best practices. Evaluate and select EDA tools, PDKs, and foundry processes.

Innovate at scale: Develop IP that is reusable, portable across process nodes, and designed to meet the performance, power, and area (PPA) needs of multiple products simultaneously.

Engage with leadership: Communicate strategy, progress, and risk to senior leadership. Influence the overall silicon roadmap with analog capabilities and constraints.
