Prin SOC Architect

Job description

The Principal SoC architect is responsible for architecting the 1P SoC and its building blocks based on use case requirements provided by the system architecture team and the definition of the silicon provided by the Device Product Manager (PM). Key job responsibilities: The SOC architect collaborates with the IP architects, the silicon design team and the silicon PM when deciding on the silicon architecture, to deliver the performance/power requirements (input from the system architect), different IP requirements and constraints (input from the IP architect) and area/cost/schedule (input from the Device PM and silicon design team). The SoC Architect is also the Chip Lead for the SoC working closely with Physical Design team to partition the silicon, design the interconnect based on BW and performance requirements and develop preliminary floor plan, clocking and power management based on estimates. During post silicon phase, the SoC architect is the first line of defense for issues arising from ATE or bugs identified from silicon validation. In depth knowledge of test, debug and manufacturability is a must as the principal SoC Architect will help tackle design marginality issues du...
