Digital IC system architect

As digital IC systems architect, you will be part of the CTO group within the Cyient Semiconductors, reporting to the CTO. Your role will be to contribute on working out advanced mixed signal SOC IC solutions for our customers based on their requirements and taking into account inputs from our sales and delivery teams.

Duties and Responsibilities :

• Processing, interpreting and discussing high level digital IC requirements
• Make pro-active proposals on suited micro-architecture and hardware specifications to fulling digital IC requirements
• Evaluate the performance of IPs such as CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, memories, accelerators, custom IPs, … and how these can be combined to meet customer requirements
• Help model, analyze , debug and address performance limitation; work out advanced solutions that fit within set chip area and power consumption budgets
• Make pro-active proposals on IC technology choices to achieve set performance requirements
• Work together with analog IC system architects and software team to bring a total mixed-system SOC solution
• Directly communicate with customers at a technical level to propose our solutions
• Support our sales team from a technical point of view by building excellent digital architectural solutions
• Support our delivery team by introducing new digital micro-architecture solutions to them; provide support to System Verilog implementation, RTL verification, design verification, physical design and design-for-test/validation
• Attend meetings and update others on ideas, options, issues or concerns, when there is a risk that could prevent meeting customer demands
• Support and promote a culture where a high quality of work is the norm
