Key responsibilities in your new role

The position can be filled in Munich or Cork.

• Lead the PORT IP concept development, defining functional specifications, architectural constraints, design guidelines, and the roadmap across product families, including PPA trade-offs and feasibility studies
• Own the microcontroller and PORT IP architecture, ensuring scalability, power efficiency, and performance, while driving functional safety compliance (ISO 26262 up to ASIL-D) through safety mechanisms, safe I/O states, FMEDA contributions, and diagnostic coverage targets
• Drive the digital design, verification, and low-power strategy, implementing methodologies for robustness, early error detection, and high verification coverage, while defining CDC/RDC strategies, power domains, isolation, retention, and UPF/CPF concepts
• Own the safe and robust I/O architecture, including pin multiplexing, alternate-function architecture, pad control, drive strength, and slew-rate configuration, and coordinate digital-analog integration with analog/pad IP and interconnect teams
• Automate design and engineering processes with Python, developing solutions for design flows, simulation, data analysis, reporting, and automated generation of register maps, documentation, and verification models from a single source (e.g., IP-XACT/SystemRDL)
• Manage engineering workflows and drive cross-functional collaboration, using Jira for backlog management, milestone tracking, and risk communication, while working closely with RTL design, verification, firmware, and system engineering teams
• Act as a technical expert and mentor, establishing best practices for concept engineering and scripting while influencing technical direction and engineering excellence across teams
