- Define the top-level SoC architecture and microarchitecture for a gimbal/motion-control device, combining an Arm CPU subsystem with an edge-AI accelerator (NPU) and DSP data path.
- Architect the AI/ML inference subsystem for on-device vision (subject detection and tracking): NPU/DSP selection, on-chip memory and bandwidth budgeting, and the dataflow from camera to inference to motor command.
- Define the motor-control architecture for three brushless (BLDC/PMSM) axes — high-resolution PWM timers, synchronized multi-channel ADC current sensing, and the Field-Oriented Control (FOC) compute path.
- Specify the camera and sensor interfaces (parallel DCMI and/or MIPI CSI-2, IMU over SPI/I2C) and the on-chip interconnect (AMBA AXI/AHB/APB), address map, and clock/power-domain structure.
- Drive PPA and dataflow analysis balancing real-time motor-control determinism against AI inference throughput, latency and power within a handheld/embedded thermal and cost budget.
- Lead IP selection and make-vs-buy across CPU, NPU/AI, DSP (e.g. Cadence Tensilica, Synopsys ARC, CEVA), camera (MIPI), ADC and PLL IP, defining integration requirements.
- Author detailed architecture and microarchitecture specifications and partition the design into IP/sub-blocks for RTL and verification teams.
- Collaborate with AI/software and firmware teams on the model-deployment toolchain (quantization, operator support) and the FOC/stabilization firmware library.
- Support RTL, verification, DFT, physical implementation and silicon bring-up as the architectural reference.
