Principal SoC Integration Flow Architect - Automation

Job description

We are seeking a high-caliber Engineer to lead the architectural design and development of a next-generation Top-level Integration Flow. Your mission is to build a highly automated framework—comparable to SoC Compiler—that streamlines the path from IP handoff to full-chip netlist generation.

Framework Architecture

• Design and implement a scalable SoC assembly framework using Python, Perl, Tcl or C++ to automate connectivity, memory map generation, and clock/reset structures.

Metadata Standardization

• Define and leverage metadata standards (e.g., IP-XACT) to enable seamless IP integration and configuration.

Tool Development

• Build advanced "SoC Compiler" capabilities, including automated RTL generation, stitch-rule checking (LINT/CDC), and synthesis-ready top-level packaging.

Optimization

• Collaborate with Front-End and Physical Design teams to integrate PPA-driven constraints into the automation pipeline. *Location: San Jose, or San Diego, CA
