Job Description - System on Chip Architect

What Youll Do:

  • Be the technical lead of a cross-functional team (hardware engineering, software developers, verification engineers) to define, design, simulate, fabricate and iterate a RISC-V Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) System on a Chip (SoC) product for defense and commercial applications based on our client's secure RISC-V CPU. The RTL already exists the major task is transferring that capability to a functioning, production-ready ASIC. Tasks ahead will follow the latest industry-standard design methodologies to finalizing the RTL code, synthesis, place-and-route and verification.
  • Be the primary technical interface with pilot customers, the internal engineering team and external subcontracted specialists to define and document product features, use cases, and functional requirements
  • Finalize and maintain the microarchitecture definition and associated documentation (complete ASIC specification, requirements and verification plan), including performance, I/O, power consumption, area utilization, recurring cost and security functionality
  • Develop and oversee the implementation of a comprehensive verification strategy including testbench development, functional verification and performance verification. Ensure the verification team has adequate coverage and highest probability of first-pass success.
  • Continuously evaluate new ASIC technologies, design methodologies for possible incorporation into the design.
  • Prioritize and schedule a product roadmap that defines the inclusion of technical features to align with timing of market need and competitive advantage
  • Decompose the product plan into actionable and trackable tasks, including design reviews and demonstrations that the team can execute to
  • Identify strategic partners to assist in the development, marketing, and sustainment of the product to augment internal capabilities
