The purpose of the Semiconductor Digital Architect is to develop next-generation digital subsystems and compute fabrics for 2.5D/3D microsystems, enabling scalable, high-bandwidth integration across AI, HPC, and wireless acceleration platforms. This includes defining architecture specifications, collaborating with teams to optimize performance, and engaging with semiconductor industry partners to shape ecosystem directions.

  • Architect next-generation digital subsystems and compute fabrics for 2.5D/3D microsystems—enabling scalable, high-bandwidth integration across AI, HPC, and wireless acceleration platforms.
  • Define and optimize architecture specifications, dataflows, and interconnect topologies (chiplet fabrics, NoCs, HBM, PCIe/CXL) across heterogeneous dies.
  • Collaborate with EDA, packaging, and system modeling teams to co-optimize digital architectures for performance, power, and reliability.
  • Lead system-level modeling and design-space exploration for AI and signal-processing workloads using simulation and prototyping frameworks.
  • Engage with industry partners and standards bodies (UALink, NVLink Fusion, UltraEthernet, CXL 3.x) to shape ecosystem directions.
  • Mentor internal design teams on RTL methodologies, IP integration, and verification best practices for multi-die systems.
  • Translate architectural innovations into roadmaps and reference designs, driving alignment between research, productization, and customer enablement.
  • Other related functions as assigned.
  • Master’s of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
  • 12 years of experience in digital or system architecture for SoC/FPGA/ASIC designs, with strong exposure to AI, networking, or HPC accelerators.
  • Deep expertise in dataflow architectures, memory hierarchies, interconnects, and compute optimization.
  • Hands-on experience with RTL design/verification (SystemVerilog/VHDL), hardware-software co-design, and FPGA prototyping.
  • Proficiency in performance modeling and architectural trade-off analysis (SystemC, C++, or Python-based frameworks).
  • Strong cross-disciplinary collaboration—able to interface with packaging, EDA, and process engineering teams.
  • Proven record of delivering complex digital design programs from concept through execution.
  • Location. Austin, Texas is preferred for close collaboration with our engineering teams and partners. Hybrid work arrangements may be possible, with travel up to 30–50% as needed. Any flexible arrangement would be subject to university policies and approval regarding employment laws and regulations.
  • PhD. D in in Electrical or Computer Engineering and ten or more years of experience in digital or system architecture for SoC/FPGA/ASIC designs, with strong exposure to AI, networking, or HPC accelerators.
  • Prior architecture experience at AI or semiconductor computer companies.
  • Familiarity with heterogeneous (multi-materials and/or multi-function) compute integration and multi-die packaging (2.5D/3D, hybrid bonding, interposers).
  • Experience with AI/ML or 5G/6G hardware acceleration, linear algebra, and signal-processing architectures.
  • Knowledge of interconnect and chiplet standards (BoW, UCIe, CXL, NVLink, UALink) and their ecosystem enablement.
  • Track record of publications, patents, or industry leadership in digital or system architecture.
  • Excellent technical writing and presentation skills for cross-functional and customer-facing collaboration.
  • Competitive health benefits (employee premiums covered at 100%, family premiums at 50%)
  • Voluntary Vision, Dental, Life, and Disability insurance options
  • Generous paid vacation, sick time, and holidays
  • Teachers Retirement System of Texas, a defined benefit retirement plan, with 8.25% employer matching funds
  • Additional Voluntary Retirement Programs: Tax Sheltered Annuity 403(b) and a Deferred Compensation program 457(b)
  • Flexible spending account options for medical and childcare expenses
  • Robust free training access through LinkedIn Learning plus professional conference opportunities
  • Tuition assistance
  • Expansive employee discount program including athletic tickets
  • Free access to UT Austin's libraries and museums with staff ID card
  • Free rides on all UT Shuttle and Austin CapMetro buses with staff ID card
