Automotive SoC design for autonomous driving and intelligent vehicle platforms
Black Sesame Technologies designs automotive-grade system-on-chip (SoC) products for autonomous driving, smart cockpit, and advanced imaging in intelligent vehicles. The tech stack—Verilog, SystemVerilog, C++, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and RISC-V—reflects a hardware-software co-design operation focused on compute efficiency. Active projects span timing closure, interconnect architecture for ADAS neural processors, and end-to-end vision-based autonomous systems, while pain points cluster around PPA optimization (power, performance, area) and bridging ML algorithms to hardware constraints—a typical tension in SoC development for cost-sensitive automotive OEMs.
Black Sesame Technologies is a Singapore-based automotive SoC provider founded in 2018, with products spanning the Huashan Series (autonomous driving compute) and Wudang Series (cross-domain intelligent vehicle SoCs). The company went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2024 (stock code: 2533.HK). They serve automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers with full-stack solutions including silicon design, in-house IP cores, algorithms, and support software. Current hiring is concentrated in Singapore with six active engineering roles, weighted toward senior engineers, indicating focus on deepening chip architecture and ML-to-hardware integration rather than headcount expansion.
Hardware design: Verilog, SystemVerilog, GDSII, UVM. Software/ML: C++, Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch. Infrastructure: GitLab, Docker. Instruction set: RISC-V.
Chip PPA optimization, high-bandwidth interconnect for ADAS neural processors, scalable data movement across compute clusters, end-to-end autonomous driving models, and vision-language model integration for intelligent vehicles.
