About the role

We are looking for a Principal System Software Architect to join our HW/SW Co-Design team.

• Hardware/Software Tradeoff Analysis: Drive the right balance between hardware complexity, software complexity, performance
• Build direct relationships with internal and external customer SW organizations to deeply understand their needs
• IP & Accelerator Co-Definition: Propose and co-define new IP blocks, hardware accelerators
• Early Virtual Platform Development: Build and use SystemC-based functional virtual platforms

What you need

• 12–22 years in software engineering
• C++
• System design
• Embedded C
• Verilog
• C
• B.Sc or M.Sc or PhD or B.Tech or B.E.

Good to have
