ASIC IP Architect – Career Growth Opportunity for Experienced ASIC Designers
We are looking for a new member to join our Digital Development Team within the ASIC organisation in Lund, Sweden. As an ASIC IP Architect, you will play a key role in shaping our System-on-Chip (SoC) IP portfolio. You will take the architecture requirements and build a roadmap for critical IPs, and help define the direction for next-generation devices.
You will lead a team working on key SoC-specific IP designs, focusing on requirements and architectural decisions. The role includes responsibility for the long-term evolution of selected IPs and sub-systems, with a roadmap horizon of 2–3 years. In close collaboration with ASIC System Architects and cross-functional teams, you will drive requirement breakdown, systemisation, and technical direction. You will also support design, verification, and validation throughout the development lifecycle.
This role suits experienced ASIC designers who want to expand into architecture and technical leadership while staying hands-on with technology. You will have strong influence on long-term decisions and help shape future SoC solutions.
We are looking for someone with strong digital ASIC design experience, combined with leadership, collaboration, and communication skills. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced Agile environment with close team interaction. If you enjoy solving complex system-level challenges and want to help define next-generation SoC IP, we encourage you to apply.
