Description

Description

You will be architecting Touch sensing systems and the ASICs required to realize them. You will be expected to take high level user requirements and create a realizable system that meets these goals. This will include high level modeling of proposed solutions, along with creating detailed specifications of the requirements. This is a highly cross-functional role, and you will work with others to identify critical aspects of how the design will interact with the overall product.

Responsibilities

• Create Touch sensor digital system architecture.
• Develop high performance, low power signal processing architectures and sensing algorithms to achieve the best touch solutions.
• Author detailed specifications, analyses, and characterization plans for touch system ASICs based on these architectures.
• Define System-level and IC micro-architecture of complex digital and mixed-signal ASICs, including requirements for: ARM processing, memory, bus, and DSP sub-systems and Power Management, clocking, I/O interfaces, and peripherals
• Optimize designs across multiple disciplines, including Hardware/Firmware design partitioning, trade-off assessments, design checking and tolerance analysis.
• Contribute technical assessments to strategic decision-making relating to technology and investments.
• Defect root cause analysis and resolution, including diligent bug database tracking.
• Communicate program status, technical issues, risks, and mitigations plans, clearly and concisely.
• Minimal business travel as needed to support product development.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS and a minimum of 20 years relevant industry experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading chip architecture and/or digital design is desirable, preferably in touch or communications.
• Experience developing and launching high volume IC designs
• Strong electrical engineering background in embedded system design, including: ASIC microarchitecture, computer architecture, SoC architecture, and custom or standard DSP or hardware accelerator microarchitecture
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and solid teamwork and leadership skills.
• Experience with IC bring-up and debug
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Verilog, or similar simulation, design and modeling tools.
• Experience with DSP and/or algorithm development is a plus.
• Direct experience with touch technology and/or flat panel display technology is beneficial.
• Ph.D. and a minimum of 5 years relevant industry experience
