Principal Digital Architect at Lightmatter · LumiJobs

Qualification

Experience with SoC architectureWilling and able to learn quicklyInnovative and flexibleData-driven and analyticalProcess-oriented and programmatic

12+ years and a Masters’ degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
In-depth knowledge of power-efficient digital design flow for high-speed AMS electronics, preferably on photonic communication channels.
Proven track record of delivering successful high-volume silicon in the market. Also, proven understanding of silicon product development flow.
Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly into new domains and drive toward clarity with incomplete information across cross-functional teams.
Hands-on RTL development experience for AMS control logic, state machines, and interface blocks. Specification authorship alone is insufficient. Device bring-up, closed-loop control, and DSP experience required.
Demonstrated strong problem solving skills specifically pertaining to problems that do not have obvious solutions, able to hold the big picture across digital, analog, photonic, and firmware domains while engaging implementation detail when needed. Deep specialists who cannot bridge adjacent domains are not the target profile.
Demonstrated strong customer communication, with timely responses and consistently positive feedback.

Experience with SoC architecture, including digital interfaces, configuration networks, embedded processor subsystems, and debug infrastructure.
Experience with hardware-software co-design, including register map definition, interrupt and DMA architecture, firmware interface specification (calibration, power/boot sequencing, real-time telemetry), and validation via co-simulation or FPGA emulation.
Ability and desire to collaborate in a cross-disciplinary team.
Power user of multiple development tools, including CAD tools, SPICE simulators, IBIS-AMI simulators, and general programming languages (e.g., MATLAB or Python).
Willing and able to learn quickly. Self-starter with a “no task is too big or small” attitude.
Innovative and flexible; realizes that a one-size-fits-all approach will not always solve the problem at hand.
Data-driven and analytical; translates numbers into actionable strategies.
Process-oriented and programmatic: builds structure through processes that can be relied upon across the organization.
