System-On-Chip Architect (SOC)

Job description

Change the world. Love your job. In this position, you will be architecting mixed-signal microcontroller systems featuring ARM Cortex-M0+/M33/RISC-V processors, as well as defining the overall system architecture for integrated platforms that combine high-performance analog peripherals with advanced digital communication interfaces as part of comprehensive SoC solutions. Your responsibilities will include system partitioning, architectural modeling, power domain optimization & interface specification development of microcontroller systems supporting multiple operating modes.

As a system architect, you will define architectural requirements and specifications for devices & IP. You will develop innovative system-level solutions to complex integration challenges through evaluation of various processing approaches and power management techniques. You will lead cross-functional architectural initiatives to ensure timely delivery of platform specifications with strategic oversight on routine architectural decisions and detailed technical guidance on next-generation embedded system innovations.

This position involves extensive collaboration with a highly talented team of analog designers, digital circuit engineers, embedded software architects, and applications engineers to solve complex system integration challenges and present architectural vision, as well as active leadership in technical working groups driving innovation in microcontroller platforms and industrial automation solutions.

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements

Thorough knowledge of system-on-chip (SoC) architecture and subsystem integration methodologies 4. Strong problem-solving skills with ability to analyze complex system-level challenges and develop innovative solutions 5. Solid foundation in digital design principles and hardware/software interface design

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven track record of translating system requirements into implementable architectural specifications
• Demonstrated expertise in architecture trade-off analysis
• Experience with Cortex-M families and their ecosystem
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills for resolving multi-disciplinary technical challenges
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
• Ability to adapt quickly to evolving requirements in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Additional Technical Competencies

1. Ability to look at end to end solutions & derive system requirements.

• Ability to evaluate and convert high level requirement into a HW and/or SW features.
• Assess high level market requirements for cost, power, security, safety implications.
• Work with estimation tools (simulators, spreadsheets, Python tools, matlab models, etc) to model performance of design choices.
• Work with design-oriented tools and outputs (xml, sims, waveforms, etc)
• Ability to make good judgements based on early / partial data
• Ability to do "what if" thinking to make sure that IP/SOC definitions are not missing opportunities or falling behind.
