proteanTecs is looking for a SoC / IP Architect to shape the next revolution in electronics!

Responsibilities:

• Define and design architecture: Create the overall SoC/IP architecture based on product and customer requirements and define detailed technical specifications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work with a variety of teams, including logic design, verification, firmware architecture and development teams, and physical design, to ensure successful execution.
• Lead technical discussions and architectural reviews, guiding design and verification teams to deliver scalable, high-quality implementations.
• System-level integration: Ensure seamless hardware-software co-design by working on aspects like control paths, interrupt schemes, and debug infrastructure.
• Drive architectural decisions that optimize scalability, and future readiness for next-generation applications.
• Act as Functional Safety manager, leading the definition, execution and oversight of functional safety strategy and processes—ensuring compliance with standards (such as ISO 26262), driving hazard and risk analyses, coordinating cross-functional teams, and embedding safety-culture across product development

Requirements:

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or related field).
• 5+ years experience in SOC architectural roles
• Technical knowledge: Strong understanding of SoC design flows, and system requirements.
• Power and performance analysis: Ability to analyze and balance performance, power, and area trade-offs.
