Have you heard of Infineon´s ambitious masterplan to develop our next hybrid automotive microprocessor-microcontroller (MPU-MCU) generation? Do you want to shape the future of smarter, safer and connected cars by solving complex technical challenges? Then we have a great opportunity for you! As our Architect for Platform Performance in our new Platform Architecture Team you will evaluate and benchmark the performance of our novel automotive platform. With this position you will be entering our Technical Ladder: a special career path for those who share innovative ideas, demonstrate comprehensive technical knowledge, show thought leadership, possess problem solving abilities and are able to create business value.
Responsibilities
In your new role you will:
- Derive product requirements for the on-chip interconnect from application assumptions, stakeholder requirements and system architecture proposals
- Define scalable architecture solutions for the SoC interconnect covering comprehensive product families; the product architecture will include multiple compute clusters, external memory interfaces such as LPDDR, gigabit-speed communication links and application specific accelerator subsystems
- Define and conduct feasibility studies, evaluate solutions wrt. impact on cost, performance and power as key KPIs
- Explore interconnect solutions based on external vendor offerings as well as internal solutions and define a holistic approach for a new product architecture
- Technically work in a community of SoC architects, component architects, designers, physical implementation and verification engineers to ensure feature and performance fulfillment and also efficient implementation of the proposed interconnect solution
- Pro-actively drive innovation in the area of microcontroller platforms and SoC architectures based on profound understanding of future product needs and industry trends
Your Profile
You have a clear notion of how innovation contributes to the commercial success of the company, you constantly gain new insights by questioning existing assumptions and you inspire others for your ideas explaining even complex issues in a clear and convincing manner? Furthermore, you accept responsibility and accountability for decisions, and you are open to new challenges without knowing the right path to a solution in advance. If you remain aware of the big picture even in complex situations and take decisions despite uncertain circumstances, then you should join our team!
You are best equipped for this task if you have:
- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or a related field, preferably a PhD
- At least 5 years of experience in technical roles in the area of SoC architectures, design and implementation
- Profound understanding of high-performance embedded compute architectures, multi-core subsystems, related memory hierarchies and coherency solutions
- Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art interconnect solutions such as crossbars or networks-on-chip supporting quality-of-service, security and functional safety features
- Detailed knowledge about industry-standard bus protocols, e.g. AMBA and its variants AHB, AXI, ACE, CHI
- Experience with architecture exploration and performance simulation of interconnect and compute elements
- Automotive domain knowledge is an essential plus i.e. in terms of microcontroller and processor architectures for automotive applications
- Functional Safety and Security experience is a plus e.g. experience with development according to ISO26262 or ISO21434
- The ability in working in cross-functional teams and in a multi-cultural environment
- Fluent English communication skills, German is appreciated
