SoC Architect

Summary: The SOC Architect designs a complete and complex framework, system or product. Defines processes for technical platforms, system specifications, input/output and working parameters for hardware and/or software compatibility. Conceives system interfaces and business application prototypes. Identifies, analyzes and resolves system design weaknesses. Influences the shaping of future products by contributing to the framework (architecture) used across multiple products or systems. Provides multi-layered technical expertise for next generation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture Definition:Lead the definition and evolution of WIFI SoC architectures aligned with product strategy, market trends, and industry standards.
• Microarchitecture & Compute:Design scalable and efficient multi-core compute architectures optimizing for TCMs, SRAM hierarchy, DMA, interconnect bandwidth.
• Security Architecture:Define and integrate secure boot, root‑of‑trust, isolation, and cryptographic acceleration. Ensure architectures support functional safety and lifecycle requirements.
• SoC Integration:Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and IP teams to ensure seamless integration of processing, memory, power management, peripherals, and interconnect subsystems. Good understanding of Analog IPs (ADC, DAC, PLL, SERDES etc.) will be required.
• Performance & Power Optimization:Lead architectural strategies to optimize performance per watt. Balance frequency, voltage, memory, and power states to meet RT and MCX power envelopes. Support early performance and power estimation to reduce program risk.
• Technical Leadership & Documentation: Develop architecture specifications, best practices, and technical documentation to guide development teams.
