Workplace: Hybrid
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Hardware, Embedded & Systems Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Define and drive the architecture of key SoC subsystems (processors, memory, interconnects, AI engines/GPUs, multimedia blocks, and I/O) balancing performance, power, area, and cost.
  • •Lead SoC integration strategy including control architecture, reset/boot flows, clocking architecture, power domains, security considerations, and system manageability.
  • •Drive early-stage architectural exploration, workload analysis, performance modeling, and specification development.
  • •Define and evaluate system-level solutions using analog/mixed-signal IPs, including high-speed SerDes, DDR PHYs, PCIe/CXL PHYs, clocking subsystems, and power management.
  • •Collaborate across analog, digital, package, board, and platform teams to ensure robust end-to-end interface architectures and successful platform deployment.
