Senior SOC Architect

We are seeking an experienced ARM SoC Architect to lead the design and development of ARM-based System on Chip (SoC) solutions. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining the architecture, working closely with cross-functional teams, and ensuring the SoC meets performance, power, and area targets. This role requires a deep understanding of ARM architecture, SoC design principles, and a proven track record in SoC architecture and design.

• Define and develop the architecture for ARM-based SoC solutions targeting applications in 5G, IoT
• Work closely with system architects, hardware, and software teams to define SoC requirements and specifications
• Lead the design and integration of various IP blocks, including CPUs, memory controllers, and peripheral interfaces
• Ensure the SoC architecture meets performance, power, and area targets
• Perform feasibility analysis, trade-off studies, and simulations to optimize the SoC architecture
• Collaborate with verification and validation teams to ensure the functionality and performance of the SoC design
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in ARM architecture and semiconductor design technologies
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in SoC design with a focus on ARM architecture
• Strong understanding of ARM architecture and AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)
• Experience with SoC design tools and methodologies
• Proven track record in designing and implementing complex SoC solutions
• Fluency in both HDL (Verilog/VHDL) and C/Python programming languages
• Familiarity with SystemC and SystemVerilog is an important advantage
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication and teamwork skills

• Experience with low-power design techniques
• Knowledge of high-speed interface protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, Ethernet)
• Familiarity with system-level design and simulation tools
• Experience with firmware and software development for ARM-based systems
• Understanding of security and encryption techniques for SoC designs
