Senior Principal Engineer SoC Design

Summary:

We are seeking a highly experiencedSystem-on-Chip (SoC) Designer with 15+ years of expertise to lead architecture and design of advanced SoCs for embedded applications. The ideal candidate will have strong experience inARM-based microcontrollers,low-power design techniques, and proficiency with multiple interfaces and security IPs. This is a hands-on role requiring deep technical expertise and collaboration in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and drive SoC architecture, including CPU subsystems, interconnects, and memory hierarchy.

• Hands-on design work: RTL coding, debugging, and design reviews.

• Lead RTL design, verification, and synthesis for complex SoCs.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for hardware/software integration.

• Mentor technical teams and guide design best practices.

• Ensure PPA optimization and compliance with industry standards.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience: 15+ years in SoC design and architecture withsuccessful tape-outs of multiple SoCs.

• Technical Skills:

  • Strong expertise in ARM-based microcontrollers and SoC integration.

  • Proficiency in RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, timing closure.

  • Comfortable working with Synthesis/STA/Physical Design/Package teams during SoC design

  • Familiarity with EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence).

  • Deep knowledge of low-power design techniques.

  • Experience with multiple interfaces:SPI, I²C, UART, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, eSPI.

  • Knowledge ofFlash memory integration.

  • Additional experience with cryptographic accelerators or security IPs.

  • Familiarity with common Analog IPs used in microcontroller design (e.g., ADC, DAC, PLLs, LDOs).

• Soft Skills:

  • Comfortable working in afast-paced environment.

  • Strong team player with excellent communication skills.

• Education: Bachelors or Master's inMicroelectronics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering
