ASIC System on Chip Architect

Job Description

Job Description

Solve the Problem, Not the Symptom.

Our client designs and deploys secure system solutions through novel CPU design, crypto cores, purpose-built system-on-a-chip architectures and hardened operating systems. Their solutions are the foundation for how military systems and US critical infrastructure will remain safe and secure through unpredictable operating environments of the future. They need smart people like you to join in solving hard problems that matter.

What You'll Do :

• Be the technical lead of a cross-functional team (hardware engineering, software developers, verification engineers) to define, design, simulate, fabricate and iterate a RISC-V Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) System on a Chip (SoC) product for defense and commercial applications based on our client's secure RISC-V CPU. The RTL already exists – the major task is transferring that capability to a functioning, production-ready ASIC. Tasks ahead will follow the latest industry-standard design methodologies to finalizing the RTL code, synthesis, place-and-route and verification.
• Be the primary technical interface with pilot customers, the internal engineering team and external subcontracted specialists to define and document product features, use cases, and functional requirements
• Finalize and maintain the microarchitecture definition and associated documentation (complete ASIC specification, requirements and verification plan), including performance, I / O, power consumption, area utilization, recurring cost and security functionality
• Develop and oversee the implementation of a comprehensive verification strategy including testbench development, functional verification and performance verification. Ensure the verification team has adequate coverage and highest probability of first-pass success.
• Continuously evaluate new ASIC technologies, design methodologies for possible incorporation into the design.
• Prioritize and schedule a product roadmap that defines the inclusion of technical features to align with timing of market need and competitive advantage
• Decompose the product plan into actionable and trackable tasks, including design reviews and demonstrations that the team can execute to
• Identify strategic partners to assist in the development, marketing, and sustainment of the product to augment internal capabilities
