Description
You will be architecting Touch sensing systems and the ASICs required to realize them. You will also 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 collaboratively to identify critical aspects of how the design will interact with the overall product. Responsibilities include: - Creating Touch sensor digital system architecture - Developing high performance, low power signal processing architectures and sensing algorithms to achieve the best touch solutions - Authoring detailed specifications, analyses, and characterization plans for touch system ASICs based on these architectures - Defining System-level and IC micro-architecture of complex digital and mixed-signal ASICs, including requirements for: ARM processing, memory, bus, DSP sub-systems, Power Management, clocking, I/O interfaces, and peripherals - Defining common Digital platform architecture framework, including design methodology and best practices to be used as a reference for the Architecture team - Optimizing designs across multiple disciplines, including Hardware/Firmware design partitioning, trade-off assessments, design checking and tolerance analysis - Contributing technical assessments to strategic decision-making relating to technology and investments - Performing defect root cause analysis and resolution including diligent bug database tracking - Communicating program status, technical issues, risks, and mitigations plans, clearly and concisely - Minimal business travel as needed to support product development
