An experienced IC Architect defines and delivers cutting-edge systems-on-chip (SoC) architectures for next-generation products. In this role, he translates product requirements into a robust architecture, balancing performance, power, area, and cost. He leads the architecture definition, guide design teams, and ensure successful tape-out and production.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture Definition: Architect the overall IC structure, including digital, analog, and mixed-signal blocks (in collaboration with analog IC architect) and test strategy.
• Requirements Translation: Convert high-level product specifications into detailed technical requirements for design teams.
• System-Level Optimization: Balance trade-offs in performance, power, area, and cost to meet product goals.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, software architects, and customers to clarify customer requirements; align with project managers on resources, schedules, and milestones.
• Technical Leadership: Mentor and guide design engineers and sub-system architects throughout development and implementation.
• Supplier & Partner Interaction: Define technical interfaces and ensure alignment with external suppliers.
• Project Governance: Support structured project execution and maintain communication with local and remote teams.
