Job description

ASIC IP Architect – Career Growth Opportunity for Experienced ASIC Designers

We are looking for a new member to join our Digital Development Team within the ASIC organisation in Lund, Sweden. As an ASIC IP Architect, you will play a key role in shaping our System-on-Chip (SoC) IP portfolio. You will take the architecture requirements and build a roadmap for critical IPs, and help define the direction for next-generation devices.

You will lead a team working on key SoC-specific IP designs, focusing on requirements and architectural decisions. The role includes responsibility for the long-term evolution of selected IPs and sub-systems, with a roadmap horizon of 2–3 years. In close collaboration with ASIC System Architects and cross-functional teams, you will drive requirement breakdown, systemisation, and technical direction. You will also support design, verification, and validation throughout the development lifecycle.

This role suits experienced ASIC designers who want to expand into architecture and technical leadership while staying hands‑on with technology. You will have strong influence on long-term decisions and help shape future SoC solutions.

We are looking for someone with strong digital ASIC design experience, combined with leadership, collaboration, and communication skills. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced Agile environment with close team interaction.

What You Will Do

• Act as one of the IP Architects within the SoC‑specific IP Program, covering IPs owned by multiple cross‑functional teams.
• Serve as the primary interface towards ASIC System Architects and drive requirement breakdown and systemization.
• Own and define requirements, architecture, and roadmap for IP blocks and subsystems.
• Support development teams throughout design, verification, and validation phases.
• Drive continuous improvements in design methodologies, workflows, and engineering practices.
• Create and maintain high‑quality technical documentation.

Skills You Bring

• MSc or PhD in Electronic Engineering or equivalent.
• 8+ years of experience in ASIC IP design and/or verification.
• Strong expertise in Digital ASIC Design.
• Good understanding of ARM processors and AMBA‑based systems.
• Knowledge of UVM verification methodology.
• Proven ability to collaborate successfully across teams and geographical sites.
• Strong focus on quality and engineering excellence.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with clock/reset controllers and ASIC clocking architectures.
• Experience with low‑speed interface IPs such as I3C, SPI, and QSPI.
• Familiarity with ARM CoreSight architectures.
• Experience with requirements management tools such as DOORS or Jama.
• Experience working in Agile development environments.

Who You Are

You are a collaborative and structured engineer who enjoys working across organizational boundaries to solve complex technical challenges. You communicate effectively, share knowledge openly, and are motivated by delivering high‑quality solutions. With strong analytical skills and a continuous‑improvement mindset, you are ready to take the next step in your career and help shape the architectural direction of future ASIC platforms.
