The Machine Learning Hardware Accelerator team is seeking an experienced and talented Hardware Design & Architecture Lead. This role will drive the definition and analysis of next-generation ML hardware accelerator architectures, with a special emphasis on vision applications for mobile and emerging products.

  • Architect high-performance, power-efficient ML hardware accelerator designs, especially for computer vision workloads (e.g., image classification, object detection, video analytics).
  • Analyze and optimize hardware for performance, power, and area (PPA) tradeoffs.
  • Define hardware micro-architecture for efficient implementation of ML algorithms.
  • Lead HW IP development, working closely with RTL design, verification, synthesis and physical design teams to improve PPA.
  • Collaborate closely with global hardware, software, and systems teams to deliver best-in-class ML solutions.
  • Work with cross-functional teams (HW design, verification, SW, systems, marketing, product planning) to align architecture with product goals.
  • Use models, simulators, profilers, and real hardware to justify architectural decisions quantitatively.
  • Apply knowledge of CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, memory, and bandwidth analysis to ML hardware design.
  • Communicate results and technical issues effectively with leads and peers.
  • Invent and file patents for innovative hardware solutions.
  • Experience in hardware development for ML, multimedia, or accelerator technologies (vision, imaging, video, display, audio, etc.).
  • Experience in system or chipset development for SoC products, preferably in the mobile market.
  • Familiarity with OS principles and HW/SW interaction.
  • Experience with SoC bus, interconnect, and memory technologies.
  • MS Degree required with 15+ years industry experience in one or more of the following areas: Architecture/micro-architecture of ML or multimedia cores.
  • Experience with ML frameworks and accelerator standards (e.g., TensorFlow Lite, ONNX).
  • VLSI design and verification (Verilog/SystemVerilog/HLS).
  • C/C++/SystemC programming.
  • Hands-on experience with simulators and performance/power models.
  • Scripting & automation skills.
  • Deep domain knowledge in ML for vision (image/video processing, neural network architectures for vision).
  • Experience collaborating with global teams across multiple time zones and cultures.
  • Experience working with synthesis and physical design teams for HW IP development and PPA improvement.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and presentation skills.
  • Demonstrated technical and people leadership.
  • $228,400.00 - $342,600.00 salary range.
  • Competitive annual discretionary bonus program.
  • Opportunity for annual RSU grants.
  • Highly competitive benefits package designed to support success at work, at home, and at play.
