Wireless Chip Architect

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 offer a unique opportunity to shape and make a great impact on the roadmap of connected devices.

As a Wireless Architect, you will be positioned at the intersection of cutting‑edge wireless technology and direct customer engagement. You will 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‑developing joint solution offerings, and bringing a creative, flexible mindset to solving complex real‑world connectivity challenges.

This role requires both architectural depth and strong product engineering experience, from concept through productization.

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

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering.
• Deep understanding of full‑system SoC architecture, emphasizing how connectivity subsystems interact with processors, memory controllers, power domains, and software stacks.
• Product engineering experience: deep understanding of the full lifecycle, including post‑tape‑out testing, silicon bring‑up, productization, and production qualification.
• Experience in system definition for wireless communication systems.
• Experience with wireless communication standards such as Wi‑Fi, BT, Cellular, and UWB.
• Experience in ASIC design and architecture, with proven experience in successful tape‑outs and production.
• Knowledge in performance and power modeling and analysis.
• Deep understanding of VLSI development processes and methods.
• Technical leadership.
• Strong communication skills, able to translate complex architectural concepts for customers, executives, and engineering teams.
• Creative and flexible mindset: comfortable navigating ambiguous requirements and proposing pragmatic, innovative solutions.
• Proven customer‑facing experience, leading technical discussions, building trust, and influencing design decisions.

• Knowledge in RF integration and performance optimization.
• Previous experience with third‑party IP integration.
• Knowledge in CPU/Processor architecture.
