The posting

Our client is a US-based pioneer and leading provider of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions. We are seeking qualified candidate to join their Singapore team to work on breakthrough technologies powering the next wave of intelligent devices.

HW System / SoC Architect

Role Summary

We're looking for a senior SoC Architect to be the primary architectural voice for our Singapore engineering team. You'll own the architecture of our SoC's peripheral subsystems — audio, imaging and display, and high- and low-speed interfaces — designed for the extreme power budgets of battery-powered wearables and IoT devices.

On our sub-threshold silicon, external interfaces are often the single biggest driver of system power. That makes decisions most teams treat as routine — when a link wakes, what stays retained, how data moves without waking the CPU — first-order architectural problems. This role sits at the center of that challenge, spanning everything from the transistor to the cable in your hand.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role.

Responsibilities:

• Architecture specifications for the SoC’s peripheral subsystems: micro-architecture definition, flow and sequence diagrams, power and performance models, and pseudocode — the documents RTL design and verification teams implement from

• Off-die interface definition — modes, electrical and protocol behavior, and integration requirements that account for boards, cables, connectors, PHYs, and the software driver model

• Debug at RTL and gate level with the design team when implementation raises questions the specification must answer

• Partnership with physical design to ensure robust, optimal implementation of what you specify

• Power and performance trade-off analysis across full system dataflows — die, package, board, and software — guiding both hardware and software development

• IP investigation, assessment, and selection — build-vs-license recommendations with the analysis to back them

• Integration specifications covering system interfaces and external power management

• Post-silicon analysis and support for delivery of SoC functionality into mass production

• Use case and test case definition in support of validation

Who you’ll work with

RTL design and verification, physical design, our FPGA bring-up team, software architecture, and colleagues in Marketing, Advanced Development, and our HQ architecture team plus customers and field teams on key features and competitive positioning.

Requirements:

• A track record of authoring architecture specifications for SoCs, ASICs, or silicon IP that hardware teams implemented in RTL — this is the core of the role

• 8+ years in SoC/ASIC architecture and design, or silicon IP development, for wearable, IoT, or mobile-class products (hardware/RTL background — not firmware or driver development)

• Hands-on experience architecting external interfaces: audio (I2S, PDM), imaging/display (MIPI CSI/DSI), and high/low-speed links (USB, SPI, I2C)

• Working knowledge of each interface on both sides of the package: board-level electrical constraints, cable/connector requirements (e.g., USB power delivery), PHY integration, and OS driver models

• Experience shipping low-power silicon architectures to market, from concept through post-silicon validation

• Strong systems-level thinking across the hardware/software boundary

• The ability to build consensus and drive alignment across distributed teams

• Excellent written and verbal communication

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science

Nice to Have

• MS or PhD in a related field

• Experience with SoC fabric/interconnect, power management architecture, or UPF/power-aware design flows

• Hands-on work on advanced process nodes

• Familiarity with low-power mobile consumer systems, embedded imaging, or neural network processing

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
