Understand the product requirements, study relevant standards and specifications, propose innovative ideas, and develop detailed Software architectural specifications.
Define SW design specifications for complex communication system, in close collaboration with the system development and digital design engineers for power, performance and timing requirements.
Provide technical leadership throughout the SW architecture development, working closely and assisting SD/HW/FW designers, verification and system validation engineers, providing solutions and promptly resolving issues during the development of the communication system.
Design and validate SW development for the communication system.
Define and review SW and system verification and validation plans for the SW and HW design as well as system validation to ensure the strict conformance with standards and specifications.
Understand the design specifications of existing hardware modules, identifying areas of improvements, communicating with the team and making SW architectural and design enhancements.
JOB REQUIREMENTS
Bachelors or Masters Degree in Electrical engineering or computer science
Proven ability to thrive in a small, agile engineering team, taking initiative, prioritizing tasks and handle evolving technical challenges, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability from requirement, architecture, design through validation and delivery.
Min 10 years of experience in SW architecture and development for networking or switch SOC and/or communication SOCs
Strong understanding in SW eco system, chip hardware and system design.
Good understanding of different SOC architectures, interconnects (NIC/NOC) and buses, hardware/software partition and firmware, low level API driver and HAL as well as real time OS, communication protocol and standard
Good communication and documentation skill, with proven experience of collaboration with architecture, software, firmware, design and validation teams
Familiarity with C/C++, Python, or relevant programming language
Value added item:
Prior experience of driving SW architecture decisions across SD/SW/FW/HW teams, to build up the consensus and translate ideas into architecture specifications
Prior experience with ethernet standard such as audio over ethernet, remote control protocol, security solutions such as encryption engine, secure boot flow, or algorithm development for real time scheduling
Knowledge of embedded processor and firmware operation, processor sub-system, such as ARM cortex-A/M/R or RISC-V
Familiarity with interface peripherals, such as Ethernet/I2S/ SPI/ I2C /PWM/ADC/PDM
Prior experience in SW architecture, development and validation, emulation platforms, SW/HW co-testing and debugging, resolving customer issues for a real time application would certainly be an advantage
