AST SpaceMobile and our global partners are building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network to be accessible by standard smartphones. Called SpaceMobile, this ultra-powerful network is being designed to provide connectivity at 4G/5G speeds everywhere on the planet – on land, at sea and in flight. Position Overview We are seeking a SoC/ASIC Architect . The Silicon Team in Edinburgh is a small, highly focused group responsible for developing high‑value silicon that is core to AST’s mission of “Connecting the unconnected” - delivering the world’s first space‑based mobile broadband network. The team works collaboratively to define and build next‑generation silicon, exploring advanced silicon technologies to continuously improve performance, capability, and efficiency. This is a hands‑on environment where silicon decisions directly impact AST’s ability to deliver a global communications network from space. In this role, you will drive the architectural definition of complex System‑on‑Chips (SoCs) critical to AST’s satellite communications platforms. You will translate system and product requirements into high‑quality architectural specifications, guiding technical decisions from concept through implementation. Working closely with cross‑functional internal teams and external partners, you will help ensure timely delivery of robust, high‑performance silicon solutions. Key Responsibilities: • Work cross‑functionally with hardware, software, verification, product, and systems teams to define and deliver SoC architectures. • Own and author high‑quality architecture and specification documentation. • Guide design trade‑offs across performance, power, area, security, and schedule. • Engage in design, verification, and implementation reviews to ensure architectural integrity. • Support silicon bring‑up and debug through close collaboration with validation and software teams. Qualifications Education: BEng in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Compu…
