Job Description:

Nous recherchons un(e) architecte logiciel visionnaire pour piloter la conception de bout en bout d’une base logicielle évolutive pour notre SoC multiprocesseur RISC‑V 64 bits de nouvelle génération : SoC‑PIC64. Vous jouerez un rôle décisif de la conception au déploiement du logiciel, en veillant à ce que notre plateforme respecte les normes strictes de fiabilité et de sécurité des secteurs Aérospatial, Défense et Automobile.

Notre équipe

Nous développons des logiciels pour les SoC 64 bits haute performance et de pointe de Microchip, tels que les PIC64HX et PIC64HPSC — notre premier produit RISC‑V conçu pour les marchés Aérospatial & Défense (A&D) et industriels.

Ces SoC intègrent des grappes de processeurs haute performance exécutant Linux ou un RTOS, et offrent une connectivité avancée telle que Ethernet/TSN, commutation Ethernet et PCIe/CXL, ainsi que des interfaces périphériques supplémentaires et des fonctions spécialisées.

Nos logiciels constituent la fondation de solutions orientées mission développées par nos clients pour des systèmes de contrôle et autonomes dans les domaines spatial, aérospatial, automobile et autres marchés. Nous privilégions l’excellence technique, l’esprit d’équipe, la collaboration et l’amélioration continue dans un environnement ouvert et dynamique.

We are looking for a visionary Software Architect to lead the end-to-end design of a scalable software foundation for our next-generation 64-bit RISC-V multi-processor SoC-PIC64. You will bridge the gap between high-level concept and deployment-ready reality, ensuring our platform meets the rigorous reliability and security standards of the Aerospace, Defense, and Automotive industries.

Our Team

We are building software for Microchip’s leading-edge, high-performance 64-bit System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, such as the PIC64HX and PIC64HPSC—our first RISC‑V offering designed for Aerospace & Defense (A&D) and industrial markets.

These SoCs integrate clusters of high‑performance CPUs running Linux or an RTOS, and provide advanced connectivity such as Ethernet/TSN, Ethernet switching, and PCIe/CXL, along with additional peripheral interfaces and specialized functions.

Our software serves as the foundation for mission‑focused solutions developed by our customers for control and autonomous systems in space, aerospace, automotive, and other markets. We focus on technical excellence, teamwork, collaboration, and continuous improvement in an open and dynamic environment.
