SOC Architect - Hyderabad, India - Silicon Labs

Description

We are Silicon Labs. We are a leader in secure, intelligent wireless technology for a more connected world.

Our integrated hardware and software platform, intuitive development tools, unmatched ecosystem and robust support make us the ideal long-term partner in building advanced industrial, commercial, home and life applications.

We make it easy for developers to solve complex wireless challenges throughout the product lifecycle and get to market quickly with innovative solutions that transform industries, grow economies and improve lives.

Meet the TeamThe Digital Subsystems (DSS) team is responsible for the research and development of digital IP, Subsystem, and IC architectures from concept to production.

We develop compute engines, processors, accelerators, peripherals, and system IP. We develop IC architectures for multi-core SoCs with an energy-efficient compute backbone for IoT connectivity, security, and sensing subsystems.

We define system solutions along with Marketing, Systems, and Software teams with the Silicon Labs' AI/ML, RISC-V, Vision, Audio/DSP, Display, Modeling, and Compute workstreams.

Our activities include advanced research and development, high-level modeling, architecture, RTL design, timing/power/area optimization, and formal and UVM verification within an automated framework.

We value innovation, simplicity, quality, and smart development processes within a highly collaborative and learning-driven team.

ResponsibilitiesAs a technical leader within an advanced digital architecture team, you will be responsible for product definition through requirement gathering, consensus building, analysis, and modeling using your extensive knowledge of system, IC, and IP design.

You will work closely with marketing, IC and IP design, modeling, and software teams. IPs include subsystems, accelerators, peripherals, system IP, advanced I/O, and processors.

Upon joining Silicon Labs, your experience and resourcefulness will expand our wireless, AI, vision, display, and audio capabilities by optimizing compute, interconnect, and memory systems to produce the industry's most connected and energy-efficient IoT Wireless MCUs.
