Automotive SoC Architect

Project

Work done for a product or program.

• Define the SoC partition between application, real-time and safety islands.
• Specify the safety architecture with ASIL decomposition targets alongside the safety manager.
• Size compute, memory and sensor-interface bandwidth for perception and fusion workloads.
• Define in-vehicle network interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN-FD and SerDes links.
• Specify AEC-Q100 temperature, lifetime and mission-profile requirements for the architecture.
• Engage OEM and Tier-1 architects to capture system requirements.
• Support functional-safety assessments and customer audits.
