SoC Architect

About the role

Microchip Technology Inc. is seeking a System‑on‑Chip (SoC) Architect to define the overall device architecture for PIC32 microcontrollers. You will translate market, customer and internal requirements into clear architectural specifications and theory‑of‑operation documentation.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the architecture of complex SoC solutions, covering device pinouts, power management, embedded memory, security features and production test capabilities.
• Define architectures and features that support functional safety (ISO 26262, SEooC) and cybersecurity (ISO 21434, TARA analysis).
• Own peripheral and deeply embedded IP architecture, specifying programming models, interfaces and detailed theory of operation.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, analogue and verification teams to refine system requirements and perform feasibility studies.
• Conduct architectural trade‑off analysis balancing cost, features and schedule, and provide technical leadership through design reviews and mentoring.

Required profile

• Proven ability to work independently while influencing cross‑disciplinary teams.
• Experience leading SoC architecture projects from concept through production.
• Strong communication skills to gather requirements from marketing, customers, FAEs and internal engineering groups.

Required skills

• SoC architecture design for PIC32 microcontrollers.
• Power management system design.
• Embedded memory architecture.
• Security feature integration and cybersecurity standards (ISO 21434, TARA).
• Functional safety expertise (ISO 26262, SEooC concepts).
• Peripheral and IP programming model definition.

What we offer

• Opportunity to contribute to a multi‑billion‑dollar global organization with a culture of trust, empowerment and diversity.
• Access to Microchip’s Leadership Passage Programs and continuous professional development resources.
