The role

SoC / ASIC Architect | Semiconductor & Security Technologies - Grupo Oesía

Our projects become technology that protects, connects and drives strategic sectors: our own. At Grupo Oesía, we work to ensure innovation delivers real impact, and we are looking for people who want to be part of that challenge.

What you'll do

At Cipherbit, part of Grupo Oesía, we are looking for an experienced SoC / ASIC Architect to contribute to the definition and development of complex integrated circuits for advanced technology programmes.

You will play a key technical role in the definition of complex SoC architectures, working with solutions based on RISC-V, ARM or equivalent architectures and defining the integration of third-party IPs and advanced subsystems.

The position involves working across the complete ASIC development lifecycle, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams responsible for architecture, digital design, verification, physical implementation, DFT, test and silicon validation.

You will also collaborate with foundries, design houses, technology centres and IP providers, contributing to strategic projects in advanced semiconductor and security technologies.

  • Define and evolve complex SoC and ASIC architectures for advanced integrated circuit developments.
  • Design architectures based on RISC-V, ARM or equivalent processor technologies.
  • Define the architecture and integration strategy for third-party IPs and complex subsystems.
  • Make key architectural decisions considering system requirements, integration and implementation constraints throughout the ASIC lifecycle.
  • Work closely with Front-End and Back-End teams, supporting the evolution of the architecture through implementation.
  • Collaborate with verification teams using advanced methodologies such as UVM.
  • Support architecture-related activities throughout DFT, ATPG, MBIST/LBIST, tape-out and silicon validation.
  • Participate throughout the complete ASIC lifecycle, from architecture and design through tape-out, fabrication and silicon validation.
  • Coordinate technical activities with foundries, design houses, technology centres and IP providers.
  • Provide technical guidance and contribute to architectural decisions within multidisciplinary ASIC design and engineering teams.
