About The Position

Our technology solutions power the tools you use every day--including smartphones, electric vehicles, hyperscale data centers, IoT devices, and so much more. Here, you’ll have an opportunity to be part of a global leader whose innovative designs are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and powering the future. We believe innovation and growth are driven by an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce. We’re dedicated to empowering people to be their true selves. Together, we’re building a better tomorrow for our employees, customers, partners, and communities. What You’ll Do The SoC Architect will serve as a key technical leader, translating client requirements into an optimal SoC blueprint that achieves aggressive PPA (Power, Performance, Area) targets and driving its successful implementation. This role will be a critical leader who provides the technical blueprint that ultimately realizes our clients' business objectives and should have a deep understanding of the complexities of custom SoC development and the ability to leverage broad system knowledge to create innovative solutions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline and 10+ years of experience, or Master’s and 8+ years of experience.
  • 5+ years experience in SoC Architecture or System Engineering (experience in custom ASIC/SoC projects is a plus)
  • Deep understanding of Computer Architecture and SoC Design (including CPU, GPU, Accelerators, Caches, and Memory Systems).
  • Expert knowledge and design experience with on-chip interconnects (e.g., AMBA AXI/CHI) and High-Speed Interface protocols.
  • In-depth knowledge of Power Management and low-power design techniques.
  • Experience with SoC-level Clock, Reset, and Power Domain architecture.
  • Comprehensive understanding of the overall RTL design and SoC design flow (Implementation & Verification).
  • Excellent problem-solving skills to independently identify, analyze, and resolve complex technical issues.
  • Ability to communicate and negotiate effectively with diverse stakeholders, including hardware and software engineering teams, managements, and clients.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python/Perl

Responsibilities

  • Customer Requirement Definition and Architecture Design: Analyze and define the functional, performance, and power requirements based on the client's end product and application (e.g., mobile, edge device, data center or physical AI).
  • Conceive and specify the Top-Level SoC Architecture and Microarchitecture, including CPU/GPU/NPU cores, memory subsystem, Interconnect (Coherent/Non-Coherent Fabric), and high-speed I/O interfaces (e.g., PCIe, UALink or ESUN).
  • Architecture Exploration and Validation: Evaluate various architectural trade-offs and validate architectural decisions using performance and power modeling (C/C++, SystemC).
  • Provide technical guidance on IP selection, integration, and system optimization, and define the Design for Debug/Test/Excellence (DFx) strategy.
  • Technical Collaboration and Leadership: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (HW Design, Verification, Physical Design, Software) to ensure architectural specifications are accurately translated into the design and implementation phases.
  • Identify and resolve technical risks throughout the project lifecycle, and lead technical communication with clients

Benefits

  • We also offer incentive opportunities that reward employees based on individual and company performance.
  • This is in addition to our diverse package of benefits centered around the wellbeing of our employees and their loved ones.
  • In addition to the usual Medical/Dental/Vision/401k, our inclusive rewards plan empowers our people to care for their whole selves.
  • Give Back With a charitable giving match and frequent opportunities to get involved, we take an active role in supporting the community.
  • Enjoy Time Away You’ll start with 4+ weeks of paid time off a year, plus holidays and sick leave, to rest and recharge.
  • Care for Family Whatever family means to you, we want to support you along the way—including a stipend for fertility care or adoption, medical travel support, and virtual vet care for your fur babies.
  • Prioritize Emotional Wellness With on-demand apps and free confidential therapy sessions, you’ll have support no matter where you are.
