Meet the Team

The IoT Digital team is a state-of-art IC design team focused on producing world-class Wireless MCU SoCs. The architecture specification, design, verification, and implementation of the Wireless MCU SoCs is the responsibility of the IoT Digital team. These SoCs include an embedded CPU system with analog and digital peripherals, advanced security, state-of-the-art power management, and best-in-class radios to support a wide range of wireless IoT applications and standards.

Responsibilities

The chosen candidate will contribute to, and manage a team for, the development of architecture, microarchitecture, and design of complex, low power, Wireless SoCs. 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, while meeting best-in-class power and performance targets. The Chip Design lead will define architectures with embedded multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems, AI accelerators, bus interconnect, memory architecture and multi-level caches to satisfy performance and throughput requirements. This will include RISC-V, ARM or proprietary processor designs, high-speed interfaces for off-chip memories, integration of wireless systems, power management, and mixed signal IP. The candidate would be responsible for the leading a project through the entire product development process.

• Lead the development and execution of Wireless SoC’s from definition, through execution, and into production
• Definition and Planning
• Coordinate with the product marketing teams to develop the SoC requirements. Provide the necessary design collateral to support the product approval gates.
• Develop and maintain the SoC architecture or technical specification to meet the product requirements, with a key goal to maximize IP reuse.
• Develop the design schedule, including milestones and resource requirements. Coordinate with cross functional teams (such as software) on dependencies.
• Project Execution
• Coordinate with global design functional leads (RF, baseband, verification, etc) to track execution, triage issues, and perform prudent escalation.
• Represent the design community to provide succinct weekly status and attend the cross functional meeting. Drive design action items to closure.
• Perform SoC Design Integration and maintain design collateral such as documentation, register libraries, and pinouts delivered to cross functional teams.
• Follow established quality procedures and processes to achieve first tapeout.
• Validation to Production
• Actively support the validation and product test teams during silicon bringup, validation, characterization, and qualification.
• Triage, track, and resolve issues reported during silicon evaluation. Execute a metal or full layer revision, if necessary

Skills You Will Need

Minimum Qualifications:
