Overview
As Principal Engineer System Compute in Infineon’s R&D, you shape automotive compute architectures and lead HW/SW co-design for high performance, deterministic systems. You’ll drive memory, interconnect, and QoS strategies, plus performance modeling across control, audio, vision, and edge inference workloads. You provide technical leadership across the development lifecycle and translate system needs into concrete, verifiable targets. This role blends deep architecture work with mentoring and cross-functional collaboration, contributing to Infineon’s decarbonization and digitalization initiatives.
