Responsibilities

PMTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER

THE ROLE:

We are seeking a seasoned SoC Architect with expertise or significant interest in System Architecture. You have had significant success driving architecture, product roadmaps and product requirements. You are meticulous about Power, Performance and Area while driving schedule and managing cost. This senior role will stretch you as you lead architecture teams in new directions, network with our world-class, patent-holding think-tank, and negotiate amongst design teams, marketing, and business unit executives.

THE PERSON:

You have excellent communication and presentation skills, demonstrated through technical publications, presentations, trainings, executive briefings, etc.  You are highly adept at collaboration among top-thinkers and engineers alike, ready to mentor and guide, and help to elevate the knowledge and skills of the team around you.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Define product features and capabilities, close architecture, and micro-architecture requirements, drive technical specifications for SoC and IP blocks to meet those requirements, and provide technical direction to execution teams
  • Comprehend the SOC as a complete system which includes HW (Silicon), FW, BIOS & SW and ensure that FW, BIOS & SW are aligned to enable all features, optimizing for performance and power
  • Work cross functionally with IP/Domain architects to identify and assess complex technical issues/risks and develop architectural solutions to achieve product requirements
  • Knowledge sharing and other contributions to Platform & System Architecture
  • As an overall product owner, responsible for architecture analysis and technical solutions for marketing/feature change requests
  • Work closely with Design teams for Area and Floorplan refinement, Verification Test plan reviews, Timing targets, Emulation plans, Pre-Si bug resolution and Performance/Power Verification sign offs
  • Support Post-Si teams for Product Performance, Power and functional issues debug/resolution
  • Work with high-speed, low power digital circuit designs from definition to implementation
  • Verification of critical high speed digital designs using both coverage driven random and directed testing techniques as well as Formal verification.
  • Own some or all aspects of the Verification flow from initial test planning to coverage convergence and sign-off closure for one or more features and aspects of Sub-System level IP interoperability.
  • Building testbench components as well as developing test and sequence libraries, by applying Object Oriented Programming Verification techniques following UVM methodology.

 PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Strong background in ASIC Design Flow
  • Expertise in Design Verification
  • Proficient in Verilog and System Verilog
  • Experience verifying complex designs using UVM, OVM or VMM
  • Familiarity with industry standard high-speed protocols such as PCIe, SATA, USB or Ethernet is a plus
  • Experience with verification of Hardware-Firmware interaction is highly desirable
  • Strong analytical and problem solving skills with pronounced attention to detail
  • Capable of independently driving tasks and activities to completion in an organized and timely manner with excellent quality

 ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in related discipline preferred
