Staff Engineer - Digital ASIC and Signal Processing Chip Architect/Systems Engineer
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and technically exceptional Staff Engineer for a role as Digital ASIC Chip Architect and Signal Processing System Engineer to join a high-performing team focused on the architecture and development of cutting-edge, mixed-signal and software-defined radio (SDR) signal chains. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical contributor with a deep background in digital signal processing and digital design, and a passion for shaping definition, requirements and solutions in a collaborative team. DSP and Digital System Architects work cross-functionally across development teams to specify and guide digital, firmware, software and processor subsystem requirements and architecture. A successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to develop system specifications from application requirements and to innovate from architecture to circuit implementation.
Key Responsibilities
Architectural Leadership: Drive the definition and architecture of complex mixed-signal ICs and SDR chips, with a focus on digital accelerators and subsystems.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with analog, RF, firmware, and software teams to ensure cohesive SoC and system-level design.
Requirements Management: Capture and maintain stakeholder requirements and ensure the development teams remained aligned throughout the program.
Project Execution: Support the successful execution of IC development programs from concept through tape-out and validation.
Mentorship and Culture: Foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning. Support the development of team members through mentoring and engagement.
Innovation and Strategy: Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies to guide architectural decisions and maintain competitive advantage.
External Engagement: Work with Customers, Ecosystem Partners, and ADI stakeholders to define future SDR technologies.
