You will work with cross‑functional teams to define high‑performance architectures, optimise performance, power and area, and support post‑layout silicon bring‑up. The role requires 3+ years of end‑to‑end SoC design experience, proficiency with CHI/AXI/AMBA protocols, and hands‑on experience with RISC‑V or ARM cores.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Architecture, Microelectronics, Electronics, Telecommunications or related field.
• Minimum 3 years hands-on SoC chip design experience with end-to-end tape-out track-record.
• Proficient in bus protocols CHI, AXI3/4/5, AHB, APB and ACE.
• Solid experience in PPA design and optimisation for high‑performance SoC designs.
• Hands-on experience with RISC‑V or ARM architectures in design & verification.
• Experience with Lint, CDC and Synthesis tools/flows is required.
• IP integration experience (DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, UFS, SDIO) is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Participate in architecture design, collaborating with cross‑functional teams to define high‑performance specs.
• Contribute to front‑end design including module RTL, clock & reset, low‑power design, NoC bus, SoC integration.
• Conduct PPA evaluation and optimisation for modules and subsystems.
• Support Design Verification teams on module‑ and system‑level SoC verification activities.
• Engage in chip back‑end iterations, including performance and power analyses.
• Participate in post‑layout simulation, silicon bring‑up and production ramp‑up activities.

Job description

Job Responsibilities

• Participate in architecture design. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to analyse and define high‑performance architecture specifications aligned with project requirements.
• Take part in chip front‑end design, including module RTL design, clock & reset design, low‑power design, NoC bus development, SoC integration and synthesis implementation.
• Conduct PPA (Performance, Power, Area) evaluation and optimisation for modules and subsystems.
• Support the DV (Design Verification) team on module‑level and system‑level SoC verification activities.
• Engage in chip back‑end iterations, including performance analysis and power analysis.
• Participate in chip verification, post‑layout simulation, low‑level software co‑development & debugging, silicon bring‑up and production ramp‑up activities.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Architecture, Microelectronics, Electronics, Telecommunications or other related electronic‑engineering disciplines, with minimum 3 years of hands‑on SoC chip design experience.
• Proven end‑to‑end SoC design experience with tape‑out track‑record. Prior production experience of high‑performance, high‑bandwidth chips on advanced process nodes is highly preferred.
• Proficient in bus protocols including CHI, AXI3/4/5, AHB, APB and ACE.
• Solid practical experience in PPA design and optimisation. Hands‑on experience in high‑performance SoC design & verification based on RISC‑V or ARM architectures.
• Hands‑on experience with flows and tools for Lint, CDC (Clock‑Domain Crossing), and Synthesis.
• Prior integration‑design experience with DDR / PCIe / USB / Ethernet / UFS / SDIO protocols is a strong plus.
• Prior experience in integration and design of IPs such as AI, NoC, ARM, GPU, DPU, ISP, DSP, Computer Vision and Multimedia is preferred.
