Senior/Staff Software Architect AIoT SoC Platform

JOB DESCRIPTION:

• Define software architecture, subsystem decomposition, and functional allocation for AIoT SoC platforms.
• Develop and maintain Software Requirements Specifications (SRS), software architecture documents, interface specifications, and requirements traceability.
• Analyse evolving requirements from hardware architects, product marketing, software teams, and customer use cases, and translate them into actionable software requirements
• Perform architectural feasibility studies, software prototyping, and technology evaluations to validate design decisions and mitigate technical risks.
• Collaborate closely with field teams, product marketing, and system validation teams to understand customer use cases and ensure architectural alignment.
• Drive architectural reviews and provide technical leadership throughout software implementation, integration, verification, and validation phases.
• Review software designs, test plans, source code, and verification results to ensure compliance with architectural requirements.
• Partner with hardware architects to determine optimal hardware/software partitioning and recommend trade-offs between software and hardware implementations.
• Define and enforce software architecture standards, development methodologies, coding guidelines, and best practices.
• Lead performance, memory utilization, boot-time, and power optimization initiatives.
• Support system-level debugging, root-cause analysis, and resolution of complex software and hardware interaction issues.
• Collaborate effectively across global and cross-functional teams to achieve project objectives and product milestones.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership across multiple software development teams.

JOB REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience developing embedded software for real-time environments, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and low-level embedded software development. Experience with assembly language programming is a plus.
• Experience developing software on ARM Cortex-M, Cortex-A, and/or RISC-V architectures.
• Proven experience defining software architecture, requirements specifications, and system-level designs for embedded products.
• Strong understanding of RTOS concepts, including scheduling, synchronization, interrupt handling, inter-task communication, and resource management.
• Experience writing software requirements and architecture specifications with consideration for customer use cases, derived requirements, verification, and testability.
• Experience with FPGA-based emulation platforms, silicon bring-up, and full-system reference designs.
• Strong understanding of memory architectures and Memory protection and isolation mechanisms
• Familiarity with embedded development tools, debuggers, compilers, and IDEs.
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to independently manage priorities, drive technical initiatives, and deliver results with minimal supervision.
• Proven ability to thrive in a small, agile engineering team, taking initiative, prioritizing tasks and handle evolving technical challenges, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability from design through validation and delivery.
