# Principal IC System Architect

The IC system architect is responsible for defining the next generation of high performance sensor circuits, including system level signal analysis, optimization of the analog and digital boundary in mixed-signal circuits, and modeling and simulation strategies for those circuits. The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of chip-level system design, signal processing, power-performance tradeoffs, and modeling at various levels of abstraction. This role will require collaboration with multidisciplinary teams including analog and digital circuit designers, verification engineers, system engineers, and validation engineers. Key Responsibilities Define and document the system-level architecture for complex ICs that integrate sensor, analog, and digital components. Lead system-level simulations and feasibility studies to evaluate design tradeoffs and performance targets. Develop and maintain behavioral and functional models at various abstraction levels for both analog and digital domains. Participate in IC validation, debug, and performance correlation to ensure models accurately represent silicon behavior. Creatively innovate and solve new customer requirements, develop next gener
