Principal Implementation Engineer - Ce-Systems

Within the CE-Systems implementation team we support the delivery of soft IP to both internal teams & a large partner base, helping them achieve their goals & craft some of the most sophisticated SoCs of today!

We enjoy an unusually broad role, working directly with frontend teams to ensure partner success on the latest foundry nodes with highly configurable system IP. We are passionate about optimizing & defining PPA across this configuration space, to enable all possible use cases. This requires developing a deep understanding of the designs from our in-house synthesis, place & route flows and successfully mapping this knowledge into a partners' environment.

Spanning implementation flow & methodology development, partner support, implementation analysis & optimization, RTL design feedback, power analysis & many other challenges there's always opportunities to learn & develop!
