Design Leader for Complex Systems

Silicon Labs is the leading innovator in low-power wireless connectivity, building embedded technology that connects devices and improves lives. The company provides device makers with the solutions, support, and ecosystems needed to create advanced edge connectivity applications.

Job Description:

This position involves developing complex SoC/chip architectures with multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems, AI accelerators, interconnects, memory architecture, and multi-level caches. The chosen candidate will contribute to and manage a team for the development of architecture, microarchitecture, and design of SoCs which include RISC-V, ARM or proprietary processor designs, and high-speed interfaces for off-chip memories, along with the integration of wireless systems, power management, and mixed signal IP.

The candidate will lead a project through the entire product development process, including definition, execution, and production. Responsibilities include:

• Leading the development and execution of Wireless SoC's from definition, through execution, and into production
• Definition and Planning: Coordinate with the product marketing teams to develop the SoC requirements and provide necessary design collateral to support the product approval gates
• Develop and maintain the SoC architecture or technical specification to meet the product requirements, maximizing IP reuse
• Develop the design schedule, including milestones and resource requirements, coordinating with cross-functional teams on dependencies
• Project Execution: Coordinate with global design functional leads to track execution, triage issues, and perform prudent escalation
• Represent the design community to provide succinct weekly status and attend the cross-functional meeting, driving design action items to closure
• Perform SoC Design Integration and maintain design collateral such as documentation, register libraries, and pinouts delivered to cross-functional teams
• Follow established quality procedures and processes to achieve first tapeout

Validation to Production:

Actively support the validation and product test teams during silicon bringup, validation, characterization, and qualification, triaging, tracking, and resolving issues reported during silicon evaluation

Experience Level: 12+ years in Industry

Education Requirements: Bachelor or Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering

Qualifications:

• Capable of leading complex IP, SOC development projects execution, experience coordinating with contractors a plus
• Top-down planning and execution of SOC projects
• Experience in full-chip development cycle
• Able to build strong technical team
• Hands-on experience in architecture, micro-architecture, digital design processes
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, Mobile DDR, Quad/Octa-SPI
• Knowledge of peripheral interfaces like SDIO, UART, I2S, I2C, PWM, CAN, etc.
• Knowledge of processors like RISC-V and ARM processors
• Knowledge of design signoff flows including Lint, CDC, Formal Verification, Synthesis, Constraints and STA Timing Closure
• Knowledge of DFT including Scan, ATPG, MBIST
• Knowledge of low power design methodology (static/dynamic clock gating, power gating, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling)
• Knowledge of hardware accelerators
• Knowledge of Verilog and System Verilog
• Knowledge of scripting languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, shell
