Jobbeschreibung

Principal Systems Architect

The Principal Systems Architect will serve as a technical expert and customer advocate for our Non‑Volatile Memory (NVM) portfolio, specifically EEPROM and ReRAM‑based products.

Responsibilities

• Own system‑level architectural positioning product solutions across automotive and industrial platforms, including:
  • Zonal controllers and centralized compute.
  • Power distribution (OBC, DC/DC, EPS, braking, ADAS).
  • Front‑end protection and sensing architectures.
• Translate customer system requirements into actionable guidance for ICD product definition, NPIs, and portfolio gaps.
• Lead cross‑product architectural alignment across:
  • Power regulation (LDOs, DC/DC, ideal diodes).
  • Current sensing and signal chain.
  • Logic and interface (I²C/I3C, SPI, GPIO).
  • Isolation devices.
  • Protection and analog building blocks.
• Act as the technical arbiter in architectural tradeoffs (accuracy vs. cost, integration vs. flexibility, roadmap timing vs. customer urgency).
• Serve as lead system architect in customer discussions, including technical workshops, architecture deep dives, roadmap alignment meetings, and escalation support for complex design‑in issues.
• Drive system‑level credibility with Tier‑1s and OEMs (e.g., EPS, zonal, ADAS, powertrain, body electronics).
• Shape customer perception of onsemi as a system solution partner, not a component vendor.
• Support FAEs by providing system context, reference architecture, and competitive positioning guidance.
• Drive product roadmaps and new product initiatives by identifying system‑level gaps and providing architecture‑driven justification for investment decisions.
• Partner with Product Line, Marketing, and Applications teams to ensure roadmaps align with evolving customer architectures, not just pin‑to‑pin replacements.
• Contribute to architecture‑led differentiation, emphasizing innovation over replication.

Qualifications

• 10+ years experience in automotive or industrial semiconductor systems and in applications engineering, systems engineering, or architecture roles.
• Demonstrated track record of leading system‑level customer engagements, influencing product direction through architectural insight, and supporting multiple product lines simultaneously.
• Prior experience in Field Applications, Systems Engineering, or Technical Leadership roles.
• BS‑EE required; MS‑EE a plus.
