As automotive SoCs continue to increase in functionality and scale, SoC development has become a highly complex effort that involves the parallel development and integration of numerous IPs, such as CPUs, high-speed interfaces, memory, AI/video, and functional safety. In the R-Car series as well, multiple IP developments are progressing simultaneously across multiple projects. In addition to individual IP development activities, the importance of organizing and coordinating inter-IP dependencies and issues from a cross-project perspective continues to grow. Under these circumstances, there is an increasing need for a role that connects individual IP teams, works closely with development sites to understand the real situation on the ground, and organizes key discussion points and issues in order to support stable and well-coordinated project execution. To address this need, we are seeking an IP Development Program Manager who is not limited to a specific IP, but who can cross-functionally organize progress and issues across multiple IPs and projects, and contribute to the overall feasibility and smooth execution of development activities.
