Sr SoC /Staff SoC Design Engineer - CPUSS

Join the India team of most cutting-edge and well-funded storage startup in Silicon Valley as the Sr/Staff SOC Design Engineer responsible for designing complex SOC using ARM architecture.

As a Sr/Staff SOC Design Engineer with a focus on ARM Ecosystem Component s and Architecture, you will work to understand the internal requirements and complexities of our SOC system and architect the SoC. You will help design the SoC RTL, Integrate IPs and define top level logic. You will also work with verification team to make sure that high quality verification is achieved for first pass success of SoC. You will also participate in architecture/product definition through early involvement in the product life-cycle.

Location : Bangalore, KA. India
