SoC Integration Lead
Take ownership of SoC integration for cutting-edge networking chips, from micro-architecture definition to design sign-off. Lead cross-functional teams including Architecture, RTL, Verification, and Physical Design to deliver high-quality silicon. Drive RTL coding and debug, synthesis, timing closure, and design quality verification. Contribute to design flow automation and support emulation and firmware teams. Requirements: BSc in Computer/Electrical Engineering, 10+ years of chip design experience, strong Verilog/SystemVerilog skills, scripting proficiency, and demonstrated leadership in complex integration projects.
Responsibilities
- Take full ownership of SoC integration, including IP development, partitioning, CDC, RDC, exploratory synthesis, and design quality verification.
- Drive chip-level design implementation by partnering with Architecture, RTL Design, DFT, Verification, System Verification, STA, and Physical Design teams.
- Oversee creation of SoC-level IP blocks such as fabrics, interfaces, and security modules.
- Lead RTL integration including micro-architecture definition, RTL coding and debug, synthesis and timing closure, and sign-off.
- Address functional and structural challenges including debugging, physical design prep, emulation, and design quality issues.
- Contribute to design flow automation.
- Support Verification and Emulation teams with test planning and coverage review.
- Ensure chip quality and reliability for delivery to stakeholders.
