The posting

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

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.
