System Design/Architect (m/f)

Beschreibung

• Developing efficient architecture/micro-architecture of ASIC-/SoC-designs, area of focus would be wireless connectivity in the car access space
• Collaborate/coordinate with the marketing, applications, design and firmware teams to come up with the basic design requirements
• Define/architect the overall SoC topology, hardware/firmware partitioning, interfaces and sub-blocks required
• Drive/understand the car access environment and tools
• Writing out detailed architecture/micro-architecture design objective specifications, product briefs, and summary documents
• Participate in SoC modeling to avoid expensive silicon respins, participate in IP evaluation and feature discussions
• Coordinating micro-architecture documentation and IP definition to support SoC pipelines
• Understand RTL, MATLAB models, C-/C++-designs, validation infrastructure and guide validation activities in the lab to confirm that architectural objectives are met on silicon
• Interface with the project team (analog-/digital-design, firmware, applications, test, Project Management), Customer (mainly Europe, but also the U.S. and Asia) and handling customer issues and solve problems

• Master of Science degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering
• Profound experience of working on SoC skills (IC design, applications and/or system design) and background with industry experience
• Valid experience with network SoC skills and/or system knowhow (RF or wired, RF preferred) and experience with working on sub-GHz, ultra-wide band and/or Bluetooth Low Energy is of advantage
• English/German language skills
• Strong understanding of micro-controller/-processor architectures/designs
• Knowledge of SoC system bus architecture, performance implications, common communication protocols (e.g. UART, I2C) and general micro-architecture concepts
• Experience with requirements analysis/management
• Able to create hardware and firmware partitioning
• Knowledge of detailed design feasibility (e.g. size/current consumption estimation)
• Analog or digital design background
