About the Business Unit:
Ceva is at the forefront of the Smart Edge revolution, with innovative state-of-the-art Silicon and Software solutions that enable products to Connect, Sense and Infer.
Within the Wireless Internet of Things Business Unit (WIoT BU), we are offering you a unique opportunity to shape the future of connected devices. Our advanced wireless technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi UWB, and 5G Cellular IoT, are integrated into over a Billion devices annually.
About the role:
As a Wireless Platform Architect, you will play a key role in defining the architecture of Ceva's next-generation Radio Subsystem (RSS) platforms for wireless technologies including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and UWB. You will take end-to-end responsibility on the system-level architecture of a complete wireless communication subsystem, including system spec, requirements for implementation teams, definition of interfaces and testing concept.
You will work closely with multidisciplinary development teams and directly with customers, from early system architecture and trade-off analysis through implementation, integration, validation and productization.
Responsibilities:
Define the RSS end-to-end architecture and HW/SW partitioning, including interfaces between the radio, PHY, MAC, CPU/MCU, memories, PMU, clock and reset management (CRM) and other subsystem components.
Define architecture and operational mechanisms for multi-protocol operation and interoperability, including HW interfaces, state machines, control flows and operation sequences.
Define sleep/wake-up modes, testability, security and debug.
Drive PPA optimization and competitive benchmarking of the RSS, with particular focus on low-power operation, silicon area and overall system efficiency.
Work closely with RF, PHY/algorithm, HW, SW/firmware, verification and integration teams, from early system studies and architecture definition through RTL/FPGA validation and system bring-up.
Work directly with customers during technical engagements to define the RSS integration into their SoC and support customers throughout SoC integration, validation and productization, addressing system-level architecture, interoperability and integration challenges.
