Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Work closely with architecture, design, verification, software, emulation, and physical design teams to enable successful subsystem and SoC integration.
• Drive and own SoC assembly and integration activities, including IP onboarding, subsystem construction, top-level SoC generation, and integration validation.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance IP-XACT-based methodologies using tools such as Magillem, Defacto SoC Compiler, Socrates, and other SoC integration platforms.
• Define and manage SoC memory maps, address allocation, clocking architecture, reset architecture, power domains, and security integration.
• Develop and maintain reusable automation frameworks and integration flows to improve productivity and ensure consistency across projects.
• Manage IP packaging, configuration, version control, and integration compliance according to organizational standards and best practices.
• Generate and maintain integration deliverables including RTL, IP-XACT descriptions, register specifications, software artifacts, documentation, and design databases.
• Collaborate with IP providers and subsystem owners to resolve integration issues and ensure compatibility with SoC integration standards.
• Debug and resolve connectivity mismatches, protocol violations, clock/reset issues, address conflicts, integration-flow failures, and configuration-related problems.
• Drive integration quality by supporting lint, CDC, RDC, structural validation, and design signoff activities.
• Participate in the definition and deployment of next-generation SoC integration methodologies and infrastructure.
• Work with software and firmware teams to ensure smooth handoff of register maps, memory maps, and hardware configuration data.
• Take ownership of specific integration domains while aligning deliverables with global methodology and project requirements.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership in SoC integration methodologies, IP-XACT adoption, and automation development.
• Contribute to methodology roadmap initiatives focused on improving design reuse, automation, scalability, and integration quality across multiple SoC programs.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with IP-XACT (IEEE 1685) standard and metadata-driven design methodologies.
• Expertise in Magillem and/or Defacto-based SoC assembly flows.
• Experience with register generation tools (CSRCompiler, RgGen, SystemRDL-based flows, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with FPGA prototyping, emulation environments, and virtual platforms.
• Understanding of SoC bring-up, validation, and post-silicon integration requirements.
• Exposure to AI/ML-assisted design automation and methodology development is a plus.
