This is a critical hybrid role combining high-impact technical leadership, hands-on SoC and IP architectural design, and direct team management.

Serving as the primary technical and operational liaison between the architecture team and the Senior Director of HW/SW Co-Design, you will lead the day-to-day execution, technical alignment, and growth of our system and IP architecture team while bringing a critical software-first perspective to hardware co-design.

This is not a role about drawing abstract boxes on slides.

It is about actively shaping silicon definition through pre-silicon virtual platforms, data-backed architectural exploration, hands-on data flow analysis, and engineering team leadership.

You will manage and mentor a team of strong architects and embedded software experts, while actively contributing to engineering execution.

The team's primary mandate is ensuring a strong software voice is present during the earliest stages of SoC and IP design, well before silicon exists.

Working hand-in-hand with hardware architecture counterparts, you and your team will act as proxies for customers and downstream software teams. You will ensure every major design decision -- from IP block selection to data flow topology -- accounts for software developer experience, real-world performance, field debuggability, and customer usability.

We believe that excessive software complexity to compensate for hardware design decisions is a design failure; this role exists to lead the team that prevents exactly that.

Key ResponsibilitiesTeam Leadership & Organizational LiaisonArchitecture Team Management: Direct, mentor, and manage the HW/SW co-design architecture team, driving overall team performance. Directorate Interface: Serve as the primary technical and operational interface between the architecture team and the Senior Director of HW/SW Co-Design, translating group strategy into actionable architectural roadmaps, milestone tracking, and regular progress reviews.

Cross-Functional Alignment: Coordinate with digital design, analog, software, validation, and product management engineering leads to resolve design trade-offs and eliminate execution bottlenecks.

Architectural Strategy & Hands-On EngineeringHW/SW Co-Design & Tradeoff Analysis: Lead SoC co-architecture alongside digital/analog teams to balance hardware complexity, software efficiency, and customer usability at product definition.

System & IP Evaluation: Translate customer use cases into quantitative system requirements, assessing data paths and co-defining hardware accelerators to optimize software execution.

Core Firmware Strategy: Define and contribute to the core architecture for bootloaders, initialization sequences, microcode, and kernel drivers across target processing nodes.

Debug & Usability Advocacy: Champion best-in-class hardware debuggability and observability (CoreSight, JTAG, trace) from early silicon bring-up through field deployment.

Customer Proxy: Act as the premier technical authority and voice for customer software teams, ensuring platform APIs and programming models remain intuitive and efficient.

Minimum QualificationsEducation & Experience: BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with 15+ years of system software architecture, firmware development, and HW/SW co-design experience.

Engineering Management: 3+ years of experience in direct engineering management or formal team leadership.(The team in question is very senior, generally self-organizing, and easy to manage day to day.)Embedded Software Expertise: Expert proficiency in C/C++ writing low-level embedded software, bootloaders, and device drivers within RTOS (e.g., Zephyr) and Embedded Linux environments.

Computer Architecture: Demonstrable knowledge of memory hierarchies, bus interconnect protocols (AMBA AXI/AHB/APB), DMA engines, and RISC-V/ARM architecture fundamentals.
