SoC Architect
Experience:- 10-20 Years
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
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.
