About the job
Requirements
- A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is required; a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering is preferred.
- At least 7 years of relevant experience in system-on-chip or application-specific integrated circuit design and architecture.
- Good understanding of reduced instruction set and digital signal processor architectures.
- Good communication and presentation skills, with experience working with customers in a presales process.
- Willingness to travel up to 30% within Japan.
Responsibilities
- Act as the primary technical interface for customers during presales and early development phases.
- Support customer engineering teams in evaluating and adopting MIPS solutions.
- Provide hands-on technical guidance on processor intellectual property integration, software toolchains, development environments, and system architecture considerations.
- Support technical discussions to secure project and design wins for processor intellectual property licenses, software tools, and custom silicon programs and solutions, and assist customers in transitioning from evaluation to design execution.
- Help customers understand and use MIPS’ value proposition, including its RISC-V processor intellectual property portfolio, open RISC-V architecture flexibility, multi-threaded high-performance computing, functional safety-ready solutions, and system-level configurations for optimized performance, power, area, and cost.
- Troubleshoot and resolve customer technical issues across hardware and software domains during the presales engagement phase.
- Work closely with internal engineering teams to address and resolve complex challenges during the presales engagement.
- Ensure timely resolution of customer issues to maintain momentum.
- Partner with Business Development to support opportunity creation through closure.
- Provide technical input to evaluations, proposals, requests for information, and customer presentations.
- Translate customer requirements into actionable feedback for product and engineering teams.
- Support engagement with ecosystem partners in software, electronic design automation, and design services.
- Participate in customer workshops, demonstrations, and industry events.
- Help position MIPS solutions within the broader semiconductor ecosystem in Japan.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience across multiple stages of a system-on-chip design, from architecture definition through register-transfer-level coding in Verilog and synthesis to physical design.
- Hands-on experience in embedded system design, debugging, or firmware/software development.
- Understanding of digital signal processing algorithms for wireless communication, LiDAR/RADAR, image processing, and advanced sensors.
- Understanding of artificial intelligence and machine-learning-based system design and use-case requirements.
- Understanding of system-on-chip design requirements for automotive functional safety.
- Understanding of security concepts and standards-based building blocks for secure system-on-chip design.
- Good written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to break down complex problems into manageable tasks.
- Ability to communicate technical information in meetings, presentations, seminars, product demonstrations, and customer training, and to provide guidance to the sales team.
About the company
GlobalFoundries is a semiconductor foundry that manufactures chips for a broad range of customers, focusing on feature-rich, reliable technologies for cars, IoT, 5G, and other high-growth markets. It operates by fabricating silicon wafers for customer designs, offering mature, specialized processes rather than chasing the most advanced nodes. This makes it different from peers that prize the latest process nodes; GlobalFoundries emphasizes diversification across a global manufacturing footprint (U.S., Europe, Singapore) and stable supply for essential applications. Its goal is to be a leading supplier of high-volume, specialty manufacturing that enables reliable chips for everyday devices and growing tech markets.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Marvell expanded SiGe capacity on September 17, 2026, signaling demand through 2027.
- Commerce finalized a $375 million R&D award on September 8, 2026, plus a July $300 million framework.
- SMART Photonics partnered with GF on September 21, 2026, widening its photonics platform and customer funnel.
What critics are saying
- Smart mobile is 36% of revenue, and management expects low-teens decline in 2026.
- Tower Semiconductor litigation in Texas and the ITC risks injunctions, distraction, and patent retaliation.
- If AI photonics demand normalizes before 2027, GF's growth story reverts to commoditized mature-node fabs.
What makes GlobalFoundries unique
- GlobalFoundries abandoned bleeding-edge nodes in 2018, specializing in feature-rich chips for autos and connectivity.
- Its Malta, Burlington, Dresden, and Singapore footprint sells trusted regional supply to governments and enterprises.
- GF owns uncommon SiGe, silicon photonics, and FDX process depth for optical and edge chips.
