Job Description

This position involves evaluating and designing complex Soc/Chip architecture that meet the PPA ( Power, Performance and Area) requirements as specified by the product marketing teams. These SoC devices are multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems with multi-level cache, capable of supporting multiple wireless protocols and application functionality, such as sensor hub, AI /ML and are specified to exceed best-in-class power and performance targets under some well-defined scenarios. This requires collaborating with software and system teams to identify and evaluate the feasibility of performance requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and develop SOC architectures, memory hierarchy, digital and mixed-signal IPs needed to meet the best-in-class power and performance targets.
• Coordinate with the product marketing teams to estimate achievable power and performance targets based on evaluation of existing SOC devices and the design constraints of the new family of SOCs in terms of software, technology node, availability of standard cell library and other foundational IPS such as RAMs and clock generators.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as software, back-end implementation teams, analog designers of relevant IPs (clock generators), to design optimal SOC and IP architectures.
• Project Execution Contribute to SOC design schedule, including milestones and resource requirements. Coordinate with cross functional teams (such as software/validation/FPGA) on dependencies.
• Support SOC infrastructure and IP designers in the evaluation of impact of design choices on PPA .
• Continuously track power estimation through design phases until power sign-off before PG
• Actively support the validation/application/software teams in evaluating key functionality in silicon and matching them to estimates.

Experience Level: 10+ years in Industry

Education Requirements: Bachelor or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering

Qualifications:

• Capable of leading complex IP development projects execution. Experience coordinating with contractors a plus.
• Experience in full-chip development cycle
• Hands-on experience in architecture, micro-architecture, digital design processes
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, Mobile DDR, Quad/Octa-SPI
• Knowledge of peripheral interfaces like SDIO, UART, I2S, I2C, PWM, CAN, etc.
• Knowledge of processors like RISC-V and ARM processors
• Knowledge of design signoff flows including Lint, CDC, Formal Verification, Synthesis, Constraints and STA Timing Closure
• Knowledge of low power design methodology (static/dynamic clock gating, power gating, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling)
• Knowledge of hardware accelerators
• Knowledge of Verilog and System Verilog and modeling languages such as Matlab and SystemC
• Knowledge of scripting languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, shell
