Your role
As an experienced SoC Architect, you define and deliver cutting‑edge system‑on‑chip (SoC) architectures for next‑generation products. In this role, you translate product requirements into a robust IC architecture, balancing performance, power, area, and cost. You lead the architecture definition, guide design teams, and ensure successful tape‑out and production launch.
Key responsibilities
- Architecture Definition: Architect the overall IC structure, including digital, analog, and mixed‑signal blocks (in collaboration with analog IC architect) and test strategy.
- Requirements Translation: Convert high‑level product specifications into detailed technical requirements for design teams.
- IC‑Level Optimization: Balance trade‑offs in performance, power, area, and cost to meet product goals, within the timeline.
- Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, software architects, and customers to clarify customer requirements; align with project managers on resources, schedules, and milestones.
- Technical Leadership: Mentor and guide design engineers and sub‑system architects throughout development and implementation.
- Supplier & Partner Interaction: Define technical interfaces and ensure alignment with external suppliers.
- Project Governance: Support structured project execution and maintain communication with local and remote teams. Report IC design status out to management
- Expertise Application: Drive end‑to‑end chip delivery—from concept and specification to tape‑out and then towards qualification and production. Responsible for all chip related deliverables.
Core competencies
- Deep knowledge of ASIC digital design flow (RTL to GDSII).
- Ability to take concepts through tape‑out and to production, including performance analysis, cost optimization, and risk mitigation.
- Master the SoC design flow and strong understanding of verification methodologies (e.g., UVM).
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
Qualifications
- Education: Master’s or PhD in Electronics, Microelectronics, or related field.
- Experience: >12 years in full-chip design, SoC architecture, and delivery.
- Technical Expertise:
- SoC integration and IC architecture.
- Digital design flow and integration of analog/mixed‑signal IP’s.
- Proficiency in VHDL, Verilog and/or SystemVerilog.
- Functional verification at IP, subsystem, and top levels.
- Familiarity with tape‑out processes and fab interactions.
- Domain Knowledge: CPU/DSP‑based ICs, power management, ultra‑low power, power/area/speed optimization & trade‑off
- Drive and follow the physical implementation / physical design
- Be able to define requirements and discuss specifications of physical IP’s like IO’s, memories and standard cells, in advanced technology nodes
- Aware of ESD constraints and issues
- Configuration management, design databases and release processes are no unknown concepts
- Soft Skills: Proactive, structured, quality‑oriented, and able to work independently and in a team.
- Good communication and English language skills are a necessity
