Digital SoC Architect

Role Overview:

You will report to the CTO.

You will be working on advanced mixed signal SoC IC solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Processing, interpreting and discussing high level digital IC requirements
• Make pro-active proposals on suited micro-architecture and hardware specifications to fulling digital IC requirements
• Evaluate the performance of IPs such as CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, memories, accelerators, custom IPs, … and how these can be combined to meet customer requirements
• Help model, analyse, debug and address performance limitation; work out advanced solutions that fit within set chip area and power consumption budgets
• Make pro-active proposals on IC technology choices to achieve set performance requirements
• Work together with analog IC system architects and software team to bring a total mixed-system SOC solution
• Directly communicate with customers at a technical level to propose our solutions
• Support our sales team from a technical point of view by building excellent digital architectural solutions
• Support our delivery team by introducing new digital micro-architecture solutions to them; provide support to System Verilog implementation, RTL verification, design verification, physical design and design-for-test/validation
• Attend meetings and update others on ideas, options, issues or concerns, when there is a risk that could prevent meeting customer demands
• Support and promote a culture where a high quality of work is the norm

Experience Required:

• Fluent (written and spoken) English.
• Expert digital system architect for advanced SOCs, at least 10+ years of experience
• Verilog and System Verilog development experience
• Experience with CPU and DSP micro-architectures
• Good understanding of mixed-signal aspects of system architecture work for advanced SOCs
• Proficient in using and understanding to key EDA tools for IC development
• Broad knowledge of IC technologies, IC manufacturing, IC assembly and IC test is required
• Familiarity with automotive safety (ASIL) standards
• Ability to multitask and proactively identify and solve issues
• Very good technical communication & negotiation skills
• Highly skilled at building and maintaining effective and productive relationships with internal stakeholders and customers based on a strong technical background
• Experience in making decisions required to deliver expected services with quality and on time
• Excellent communication, teamwork, solution orientation, and collaboration skills

Education and experience - minimum requirements:

• 4 year degree in IC development
• Minimum 10+ years of experience in digital IC design and digital IC system architectural work
