About the role

Experienced SoC Architect to lead the architecture of next-generation Adaptive SoCs, spanning compute, memory, AI, high-speed I/O, power, clocking, and platform integration with emphasis on analog/mixed-signal technologies, advanced packaging, high-speed interfaces, and system-level design.

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the architecture of key SoC subsystems, including processors, memory subsystems, interconnects, AI engines, GPUs, multimedia blocks, and I/O interfaces, with a focus on performance, power, area, and cost tradeoffs.
  • Lead SoC integration strategy, including control architecture, reset and boot flows, clocking architecture, power domains, security considerations, and system manageability.
  • Drive early-stage architectural exploration, workload analysis, performance modeling, and specification development.
  • Define and evaluate system-level solutions involving analog and mixed-signal IPs, including high-speed SerDes, DDR PHYs, PCIe/CXL PHYs, clocking subsystems, power management circuits, and other I/O technologies.
  • Collaborate closely with analog, digital, package, and board design teams to ensure robust end-to-end interface architectures and successful platform deployment.
  • Drive architectural decisions related to signal integrity, power integrity, board-level constraints, interface protocols, and package-board interactions.
  • Contribute to architectural innovation for Adaptive SoC use cases across AI, data center, embedded, networking, graphics, and multimedia applications.
  • Partner with hardware, software, validation, product planning, and system teams to develop cohesive architecture solutions and execution plans.
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to the long-term technical direction of the architecture organization.

Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
