Lead Architect Design Platform (f/m/div)*

Have you heard of Infineons ambitious masterplan to develop our next hybrid automotive microprocessor-microcontroller generation? Do you want to shape the future of smarter, safer and connected cars by solving complex technical challenges? Then we have a great opportunity for you! As a Lead Architect Design Platform you will act as a key driver in our new Platform Architecture Team to define the design system platform of our novel platform architecture. With this position you will be entering our Technical Ladder: a special career path for those who share innovative ideas, demonstrate comprehensive technical knowledge, show thought leadership, possess problem solving abilities and are able to create business value. This position can be filled in Munich, Duisburg, Bristol (UK) or Langen. Responsibilities
In your new role you will:

• Define the design system platform for our next hybrid microprocessor/microcontroller generation based on leading-edge automotive CMOS technologies and utilizing standard industry tools, flows, and methods
• Ensure the seamless integration of external 3rd party foundation IP (e.g. standard cells, SRAMs and I/Os) as well as complex physical IP (e.g. COM and LPDDR PHYS, mixed signal components) under consideration of automotive quality requirements
• Own and drive design and implementation strategies for heterogeneous SoC and SiP with high performance compute (GHz CPUs, co-processors and accelerators), high-speed communication subsystems and a multilevel memory hierarchy
• Close cooperation with different teams such as IP sourcing teams, technology experts, product development teams, quality/reliability experts and central design enablement teams
• Own and drive differentiation strategies wrt. KPI optimal implementation, availability, safety, security, and automotive quality
• Establish methodologies for platform chipset design incl. SoC-Package-SiP co-design
  
• Expert consulting of line and project management incl. clear technical direction setting wrt. to lean development and cost-awareness

Your Profile
You have a clear notion of how innovation contributes to the commercial success of the company, you constantly gain new insights by questioning existing assumptions and you inspire others for your ideas explaining even complex issues in a clear and convincing manner. Furthermore, you accept responsibility for decisions and for their positive or negative outcomes taking on new challenges without knowing the right path to an eventual solution in advance.
