Wireless Chip Architect

About the Business Unit:

Ceva is at the forefront of the Smart Edge revolution, with innovative state-of-the-art Silicon and Software solutions that enable products to Connect, Sense and Infer. Our advanced wireless technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, and Cellular IoT, are integrated into over a Billion devices annually. We are offering you a unique opportunity to shape and make a great impact on the roadmap of connected devices.

About the role:

In this role, you will be at the intersection of cutting-edge wireless technology and direct customer engagement. As a Wireless Architect, you drive the definition of connectivity subsystem architectures for next-generation products including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and UWB with mixed analog/digital hardware. You will also serve as a key technical partner for our customers, leading technical pre-sales, co-develop joint solution offerings, and bring a creative, flexible mindset to solving complex real-world connectivity challenges. This requires both architectural depth and strong product engineering experience, from concept through productization.

Responsibilities:

Drive full-system view of how the connectivity subsystem interacts within an SoC, including CPU/processor, memory, and peripheral interfaces

Definition of connectivity subsystem architecture specifications including :

Feature-set definition and PPA (Power, Performance, Area) targets
Definition of system low power modes and PMU requirements
Definition of HW and SW interfaces of the connectivity sub-systems including: HW interfaces, state machines, operation sequences etc…
Analog and digital domains partitioning

Customer facing and technical engagement

Lead technical discussions with customers, presenting connectivity architecture options and value propositions
Co-develop joint solution offerings with customers and partners, acting as technical advisor during system integration phases

Support product lifecycle and productization

Support post-tape-out testing, production validation, and productization of wireless connectivity solutions
Lead or contribute to production-readiness activities including silicon characterization, yield analysis, and qualification testing

Cross-functional leadership

Work closely with logic design, physical design, firmware, and validation teams to ensure successful implementation
Support wireless subsystem integration process from architectural definition through implementation, lab integration and test coverage planning
Collaborate with product management and business development stakeholders to translate customer feedback into architectural requirements and product roadmap inputs

Requirements:
