About the role

Your mission

To provide technical leadership and define the architecture of processor-based systems by overseeing the integration of digital, analog, and high-frequency electrical designs, managing lab bring-up and validation activities, and guiding processor design teams to ensure robust, high-performance, and manufacturable systems that meet business objectives and accelerate product development cycles.

Key responsibilities:

  • Provide technical leadership for the definition, integration, and bring-up of processor-based systems, including all peripheral subsystems.
  • Oversee system-level electrical design — both digital and analog — ensuring performance and signal integrity at GHz frequencies.
  • Coordinate activities across processor design, board/system hardware, firmware, and validation.
  • Act as the primary decision-maker for system architecture trade-offs involving performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
  • Guide lab bring-up activities, ensuring efficient debug, test coverage, and functional validation of new systems.
  • Mentor senior engineers and provides architectural guidance to processor design teams to ensure alignment with overall system requirements.
  • Ensure first-pass success of complete processor-based systems through expert oversight from architecture to lab validation.
  • Reduce development cycle time by anticipating and resolving cross-domain integration issues early.
  • Maintain system performance leadership through optimal integration of high-speed interfaces, analog subsystems, and processor core functions.
