Job description

SoC / ASIC Architect (Global opportunity)

Our projects become technology that protects, connects and drives strategic sectors: our own. At Grupo Oesía, we work to ensure that innovation has a real impact, and we are looking for people who want to be part of this challenge.

WHAT WILL YOUR MISSION BE?

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where you will design, develop and integrate technological solutions that become part of high-value projects for our clients.

WHAT WILL YOU DO ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS?

• Define and evolve complex SoC and ASIC architectures for advanced integrated circuit developments.
• Design architectures based on RISC-V, ARM or equivalent processor technologies.
• Define the architecture and integration strategy for third-party IPs and complex subsystems.
• Make key architectural decisions considering system requirements, integration and implementation constraints throughout the ASIC lifecycle.
• Work closely with Front-End and Back-End teams, supporting the evolution of the architecture through implementation.
• Collaborate with verification teams using advanced methodologies such as UVM.
• Support architecture-related activities throughout DFT, ATPG, MBIST/LBIST, tape-out and silicon validation.
• Participate throughout the complete ASIC lifecycle, from architecture and design through tape-out, fabrication and silicon validation.
• Coordinate technical activities with foundries, design houses, technology centres and IP providers.
• Provide technical guidance and contribute to architectural decisions within multidisciplinary ASIC design and engineering teams.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

• Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Electronics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Engineering or another relevant engineering discipline.
• Professional experience in the architecture and development of complex ASICs and SoCs.
• Participation in at least one complete ASIC development lifecycle.
• Real hands-on experience in ASIC tape-outs and integrated circuit fabrication.
• Experience defining complex SoC architectures based on RISC-V, ARM or equivalent architectures.
• Experience with the integration of third-party IPs and complex subsystems.
• Knowledge and practical experience in Front-End and/or Back-End ASIC flows.
• Experience in advanced verification environments using UVM methodologies.
• Knowledge of DFT, ATPG, MBIST/LBIST and silicon validation.
• Experience using industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence, Synopsys or Siemens EDA.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary teams covering design, verification, physical implementation and test.

WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU STAND OUT?

• Direct participation in successful ASIC tape-outs.
• Experience working across multiple semiconductor technology nodes.
• Experience with semiconductor technologies between 22 nm and 65 nm.
• Strong experience in the definition and evolution of complex SoC architectures.
• Previous experience providing technical leadership to ASIC design teams.
• Experience coordinating technical activities with foundries, design houses, technology centres and IP providers.
• Projects with a real technological impact.
• Teams where sharing knowledge is part of the job.
• Continuous professional development tailored to each role and individual.
• An environment where engineering and people move forward together.

If you are motivated by taking on new technological challenges and being part of projects that leave a lasting mark, we would be delighted to meet you.

Build your career where technology has a purpose. At Grupo Oesía, we develop dual-use digital and industrial engineering projects in strategic sectors, strengthening key capabilities for Spain and Europe from our technology centres and alongside a team of more than 3,800 professionals based in Spain, Brussels, Latin America and Asia.

Cipherbit - Grupo Oesía is the first Spanish brand fully dedicated to cybersecurity and the development of secure communications and encryption solutions, certified by the CCN and NATO.

We work alongside the Armed Forces, Public Administrations and critical infrastructure organisations, both in Spain and internationally, contributing to strengthening Europe's strategic autonomy in cyber defence.

With nearly 50 years of experience, we have developed products and services that already benefit millions of people across healthcare, security and defence, space, telecommunications, finance, logistics and the agri-food sector. But what truly sets us apart are the people who make every one of these projects possible.

We want you to reach your full potential. That is why we create professional environments based on equal opportunities, inclusion and recognition of each person's talent. We foster an environment where talent can learn, collaborate and continue to grow, contributing new ideas and developing its full potential. Because innovation happens when different perspectives work towards a shared purpose.

If you are looking for a place to develop your career, take on new challenges and be part of projects with an impact, we would be delighted to meet you.
