Next Generation SoC Integration Solution Lead

Job Title

Next Generation SoC Integration Solution Lead

Role Summary

Lead SoC integration activities for complex system-on-chip programs, driving IP onboarding, subsystem assembly, top-level generation, and integration validation. Work across architecture, design, verification, software, emulation, and physical design teams to deliver integration-ready SoC deliverables and methodologies.

Provide technical leadership to improve reuse, automation, and integration quality across multiple SoC projects while owning specific integration domains and deliverables.

Experience Level

Senior. Years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include owning SoC integration flows, ensuring integration quality, and delivering reusable methodologies and artifacts.

• Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, software, emulation, and physical design teams to enable subsystem and SoC integration.
• Drive SoC assembly and integration: IP onboarding, subsystem construction, top-level SoC generation, and integration validation.
• Develop and maintain IP-XACT-based methodologies and SoC integration platforms (Magillem, Defacto SoC Compiler, Socrates, or equivalent).
• Define and manage memory maps, address allocation, clocking and reset architecture, power domains, and security integration.
• Create and maintain automation frameworks and integration flows to improve productivity and consistency across projects.
• Manage IP packaging, configuration, version control, and integration compliance per organizational standards.
• Produce integration deliverables: RTL, IP-XACT descriptions, register specifications, software artifacts, documentation, and design databases.
• Debug and resolve connectivity mismatches, protocol violations, clock/reset issues, address conflicts, and integration-flow failures.
• Support lint, CDC/RDC checks, structural validation, and design signoff activities; coordinate hardware/software handoff of maps and configuration data.
• Drive methodology roadmap initiatives and mentor junior engineers on SoC integration, IP-XACT adoption, and automation development.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience for the role, plus a short list of desirable additions.

• Must-have: Proven experience in SoC integration and assembly, including IP onboarding and subsystem construction.
• Must-have: Experience with IP-XACT (IEEE 1685) and metadata-driven integration methodologies.
• Must-have: Practical experience with Magillem and/or Defacto-based SoC assembly flows or equivalent integration platforms.
• Must-have: Experience defining memory maps, address allocation, clock/reset architecture, power domains, and security integration.
• Must-have: Familiarity with register generation flows (CSRCompiler, RgGen, SystemRDL or equivalent) and producing register specifications.
• Must-have: Demonstrated ability to debug integration issues (connectivity, protocol, clock/reset, address conflicts) and drive resolution across teams.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with FPGA prototyping, emulation environments, and virtual platforms.
• Nice-to-have: Exposure to AI/ML-assisted design automation and methodology development.
• Nice-to-have: Understanding of SoC bring-up, validation, and post-silicon integration requirements.
