Principal Engineer SoC Design

Summary:

We are seeking an experienced System-on-Chip (SoC) Designer with 7+ years of experience for architecture and design of advanced SoCs for embedded applications. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in ARM-based microcontrollers, low-power design techniques, and proficiency with multiple interfaces and security IPs. This is a hands-on role requiring deep technical expertise and collaboration in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Hands-on design work: RTL coding, debugging, and design reviews.
• Lead RTL design, verification, and synthesis for complex SoCs.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for hardware/software integration.
• Mentor technical teams and guide design best practices.
• Ensure PPA optimization and compliance with industry standards.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience: 7+ years in SoC design and architecture with successful tape-outs of multiple SoCs.
• Technical Skills:
  • Strong expertise in ARM-based microcontrollers and SoC integration.
  • Proficiency in RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, timing closure.
  • Comfortable working with Synthesis/STA/Physical Design/Package teams during SoC design
  • Familiarity with EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence).
  • Deep knowledge of low-power design techniques.
  • Experience with multiple interfaces: SPI, I²C, UART, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, eSPI.
  • Knowledge of Flash memory integration.
  • Additional experience with cryptographic accelerators or security IPs.
  • Familiarity with common Analog IPs used in microcontroller design (e.g., ADC, DAC, PLLs, LDOs).
• Soft Skills:  
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong team player with excellent communication skills.

• Education: Bachelors or Master’s in Microelectronics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
