Zusammenfassung

Infineon Technologies seeks a Principal Engineer System Compute to shape the future of automotive embedded/edge SoCs. You will define architectures for CPUs, DSPs, and AI accelerators, drive performance and determinism targets, and lead cross-functional teams including compiler, runtime, firmware, and ML experts.

The role requires a master’s in EE/CE/CS, 6+ years in related architectures, strong modeling skills, and fluent English (German a plus).

Qualifikationen

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• Minimum 6 years in CPU/DSP/NPU architecture for embedded/edge SoCs with principal-level leadership.
• Strong parallel compute expertise (SIMD/vector, multi-core scaling, accelerator integration).
• Deep understanding of memory systems/interconnects (cache/scratchpad, DMA, coherency, NoC, QoS).
• Hands-on with modeling tools (Python, C/C++, spreadsheets/analytical models, perf simulators, trace tooling).
• Familiarity with real-time determinism, safety and security requirements; strong architecture specification and mentoring skills.
• Fluent English; German is a plus.

Aufgaben

• Define compute subsystem architecture for automotive MCUs/MPUs: CPU cores, DSP/vector, and AI accelerators.
• Translate system requirements into specs and PPA/latency/determinism targets; drive architectural trade-offs.
• Lead HW/SW co-design with compiler, runtime, firmware, and ML teams to optimize kernels and data movement.
• Architect memory hierarchy, DMA, interconnect/coherency, and QoS to meet real-time deadlines.
• Build/guide performance modeling and workload characterization across control, audio, vision, and edge inference.
• Provide technical leadership across development flow: design reviews, mentoring, roadmap/IP strategy, and customer/partner engagement.
