Hello,

I am recruiting for Synaptics in Santa Clara, CA and am looking for a
Sr. Systems Architect. If you are interested please contact me
directly @ eric.rydingsword(a)synaptics.com

Senior System Architect - Santa Clara, CA

Synaptics, the world leader in human interface solutions for portable
electronic devices, invites qualified applicants to apply for a career
opportunity as a Senior Systems Architect in our Platform Architecture
department. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with great
creativity, technical strength, leadership, and technical oversight
skills.

The position will have responsibility for contributing to the
development of fundamental technologies for Synaptics’ future growth.
Architects at Synaptics play a critical role in fostering innovation
within Synaptics by leading and coordinating a team of highly skilled
technical contributors to the successful completion of platform
development projects. Platform projects are typically focused on the
development of new core-technologies rather than the development of
specific customer deliverable products. As such, our candidate needs
very strong and diverse engineering and science skills. He or she will
be overseeing platform development projects that are very multi-
disciplinary in nature. Projects may involve combinations of
disciplines such as electronics, physics, software, mathematics,
materials, optics, and mechanics. Challenges often faced in such
projects are reconciling real-world observations and data with
analytical predictions. Synaptics has experts in all of these areas
and so the architect will also have to opportunity to leverage the
expertise of others and expands his or her own areas of knowledge.

In addition to technical contributions, our individual will oversee
the technical aspects of project definition and execution. They will
be expected to combine broad technical skills, technical lead skills
and people skills to oversee a talented multi-disciplinary design
team. Our Senior Systems Architect will also interact with internal
departments such as Strategic Marketing and Business development as
well as external customers to help shape Synaptics’ future core-
technologies.

Candidates for this position should have demonstrated capability to
technically oversee and guide complex projects that may span from
months to, in some cases, a year or more. We are seeking a team-
oriented individual with a positive attitude and excellent problem
solving skills, self-driven with keen technical mind and an eye for
detail. He or she must be effective in a fast-paced, highly technical
R&D environment.

Summary of Minimum Requirements
• Circuit and System Design expertise
• Engineering/Science Masters Degree. PhD Preferred.
• Minimum 7 years of relevant experience, plus 3 years
experience with
technical lead responsibilities such as team leadership, influencing
and motivating co-workers, project definition and guiding team
execution. Must effectively communicate and interact with other
internal departments as well as senior management.
