Silicon Labs - Chip Lead - SoC/Chip Architecture

Posted on: 10/11/2025

Job Description

Description :


LOCATION : HYDERABAD.

Job Description :

This position involves the development of complex SoC/chip architectures with multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems, AI accelerators, interconnects, memory architecture and multi-level caches, multiple clocks and resets, high-speed interfaces, peripherals.

The chosen candidate would need to contribute to, and manage a team for, the development of architecture, microarchitecture, and design of SoCs which include RISC-V, ARM or proprietary processor designs, and high-speed interfaces for off-chip memories, along with the integration of wireless systems, power management, and mixed signal IP.

The candidate would be responsible for the leading a project through the entire product development process.

Responsibilities :

- Lead the development and execution of Wireless SoCs from definition, through execution, and into production.

Definition and Planning :

- Coordinate with the product marketing teams to develop the SoC requirements.

- Provide the necessary design collateral to support the product approval gates.

- Develop and maintain the SoC architecture or technical specification to meet the product requirements, with a key goal to maximize IP reuse.

- Develop the design schedule, including milestones and resource requirements.

- Coordinate with cross functional teams (such as software) on dependencies.

Project Execution :


- Coordinate with global design functional leads (RF, baseband, verification, etc) to track execution, triage issues, and perform prudent escalation.

- Represent the design community to provide succinct weekly status and attend the cross functional meeting.

- Drive design action items to closure.

- Perform SoC Design Integration and maintain design collateral such as documentation, register libraries, and pinouts delivered to cross functional teams.

- Follow established quality procedures and processes to achieve first tapeout.

Validation to Production :


- Actively support the validation and product test teams during silicon bringup, validation, characterization, and qualification.

- Triage, track, and resolve issues reported during silicon evaluation.

- Execute a metal or full layer revision, if necessary.

Experience Level : 10+ years in Industry.


Education Requirements : Bachelor or Masters degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.


Qualifications :


- Capable of leading complex IP, SOC development projects execution.

- Experience coordinating with contractors a plus.

- Top-down planning and execution of SOC projects.

- Experience in full-chip development cycle.

- Able to build strong technical team.

- Hands-on experience in architecture, micro-architecture, digital design processes.

- Knowledge of high-speed interfaces like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, Mobile DDR, Quad/Octa-SPI.

- Knowledge of peripheral interfaces like SDIO, UART, I2S, I2C, PWM, CAN, etc.

- Knowledge of processors like RISC-V and ARM processors.

- Knowledge of design signoff flows including Lint, CDC, Formal Verification, Synthesis, Constraints and STA Timing Closure.

- Knowledge of DFT including Scan, ATPG, MBIST.

- Knowledge of low power design methodology (static/dynamic clock gating, power gating, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling).

- Knowledge of hardware accelerators.

- Knowledge of Verilog and System Verilog.

- Knowledge of scripting languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, shell.

Benefits & Perks :


- Not only will you be joining a highly skilled and tight-knit team where every engineer makes a significant impact on the product; we also strive for good work/life balance and to make our environment welcoming and fun.

- Equity Rewards (RSUs).

- Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

- Insurance plans with Outpatient cover.

- National Pension Scheme (NPS).

- Flexible work policy.

- Childcare support.
