Wireless Chip Architect

Position Overview

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

In this role, you will be at the intersection of cutting‑edge wireless technology and direct customer engagement. As a Wireless Architect, you 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 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
• Definition of 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

• 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 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

• 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, with emphasis on how connectivity subsystems interact with processors, memory controllers, power domains, and software stacks
• Product engineering experience: deep understanding of full lifecycle including post‑tape‑out testing, silicon bring‑up, productization, and production qualification.
• Experience in system definition for wireless communication systems
• Experience in wireless communication standards (such as Wi‑Fi/BT/Cellular/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 process and methods
• Technical leadership
• Strong communicator, 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 discussion, building trust, and influencing design decisions.
• Knowledge in RF integration and performance optimization
• Previous experience with 3rd party IP integration
• Knowledge in CPU/Processor architecture
