Description
Company Overview
Ambiq is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere — powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.
Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.
Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.
We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.
At Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.
If that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
Scope
As the Systems Architect in Ambiq’s Singapore development office, you will represent the Architecture function on-site and serve as the primary architectural guide for the Singapore development team. You will drive the architectural definition of Ambiq’s low-power SoCs, with a specific focus on the subsystems and interfaces owned by the Singapore development team—spanning audio, imaging and display, high-speed and general-purpose interfaces, and the broader question of how the SoC connects to the external world.
This is a critical function at Ambiq that supports the delivery of the world’s lowest-power electronic devices, enabling ubiquitous AI at the edge. This is a cross-functional position working with software and hardware engineering teams, applications engineering, and field teams to ensure alignment with product requirements, logical and physical design constraints, power and performance targets, and overall system architecture. This role will encompass high-level architectural specification, IP investigation and selection, power/performance modeling, and maintaining alignment with Ambiq’s overall architectural direction.
Specific Responsibilities
Architecture specifications, including flow diagrams/sequences, power/performance models, and pseudocode
Customer interaction is needed to ensure alignment on key features and competitive product positioning
Support for use case and test case development
Integration specifications to support system interfaces and external power management requirements/interfaces
Work with the FPGA team to bring up critical subsystem and interface features (for example, audio, imaging/display, and high-speed links)
Work with software architecture to define data and control flows, APIs, and hardware abstraction layers across SoC subsystems
Work with the physical design team to ensure robust/optimal implementation
Work with the design team to debug issues using RTL and gate-level simulation
Expectations for a successful candidate are as follows:
Work with Ambiq’s Marketing, Advanced Development, architecture, and engineering teams to drive development of new IP on Ambiq Micro’s technology and product roadmaps
Analyze low-power technology and applications to identify opportunities for extending Ambiq’s low-power leadership
Help define the technology roadmap, including external and internal IP assessment, definition, and integration
Work with the rest of the Ambiq architecture team to gain a broad and deep underst
