JOB DESCRIPTION

• We have multiple system and senior system design positions for system architecture definition and validation, with different levels of experience required for these positions.

• We are looking for candidates with a proven ability to thrive in a small, agile engineering team, taking the initiative, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability from development through validation and delivery in one or more aspects of the system design.

• The selected candidates are expected to perform one or more the following tasks, based on the technical background and expertise of the candidates.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• To understand the product requirements, study relevant standards and specifications, propose innovative ideas and develop hardware architectural specifications for the automotive connectivity and display solutions
• All the positions are expected to participate and brainstorm in the architectural discussions, and provide insight and solutions during the development of the SOC
• Definition of the design specifications for complex hardware blocks and accelerators, in close collaboration with the digital design engineers for power, performance and timing requirements
• Senior positions are expected to provide technical leadership throughout the development, assisting design, verification and validation engineers, and ensuring timely resolution of all the issues during the development of the SOC
• Responsible for the development of the functional validation plan and test programs for complex high-performance SOCs
• Own SOC validation tasks on both pre-silicon and post-silicon platforms, ensuring design quality and conformance with the standards and specifications
• Reviewing verification and validation plans for the design verification and system teams, identifying gaps, helping to debug issues in the pre and post silicon platforms, and ensuring strict conformance with standards and specifications
• Understand the design specifications of existing hardware modules, identifying areas of improvements, communicating with the team and making architectural and design enhancements

JOB REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical engineering or computer science
• Senior system design positions are expected to have min 3 years of experience in hardware and/or system architecture development for networking or switch SOC, multimedia and/or communication SOCs, and at least 2 or more years of lead experience in SOC system design aspects
• Good understanding in chip hardware and system design
• Good understanding of SOC architecture, interconnects and buses, hardware/software partition
• Prior experience of driving system architecture decisions across Software/Hardware teams, to build up the consensus and translate ideas into architecture specifications will be a major plus for the senior positions
• Prior experience in developing or validating display technologies such as MIPI DSI, CSI, Display Port or HDMI would be a major plus
• Prior experience with multimedia solutions such as image, video, mpeg; security solutions such as encryption engine, secure boot flow, or algorithm development for image processing or data compression would be an advantage
• Knowledge of embedded processor and firmware operation, processor sub-system, such as ARM cortex-A/M/R or RISC-V would be an advantage
• Familiarity with industry standard interface peripherals, such as Ethernet/PCIe/USB/SPI/ I2C would be an advantage
• Prior experience in SOC validation, emulation platforms, hardware testing and debugging, resolving customer issues, familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscope, logic analyser, protocol analyser etc would be an advantage.
• Good communication and documentation skill, with proven experience of collaboration with architecture, software, firmware, design and validation teams
• Familiarity with C/C++, Python, or hardware programming language will be a plus for senior roles, while proficiency in C/C++, Python, or other relevant programming and scripting languages are required for system validation roles
