About the role

  • The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in complex SoC architecture development, performance modeling, subsystem integration, and cross-functional collaboration across hardware, software, and system teams.
  • This role involves defining scalable and high-performance architectures for advanced compute platforms including AI, GPU, multimedia, networking, RISC-V or datacenter-class SoCs.
  • This role is on-site and requires someone to be local to the Bay Area.

Responsibilities

  • Drive architecture tradeoff analysis for performance, power, area, bandwidth, latency, and scalability.
  • Develop and review system architecture specifications, interface definitions, and microarchitecture requirements.
  • Collaborate with RTL, verification, physical design, firmware, software, and system teams throughout the development cycle.
  • Lead performance modeling, workload analysis, and bottleneck identification using C/C++/SystemC or similar modeling environments.
  • Support silicon bring-up, debug, performance tuning, and post-silicon optimization.
  • Selflessly collaborate towards our shared purpose.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in SoC architecture, ASIC development, or complex semiconductor system design.
  • Strong understanding of modern SoC architectures and subsystem integration.
  • Experience with architecture modeling and performance analysis tools.
  • Familiarity with firmware/software interaction in complex SoC systems.

Nice to have

  • Experience with AI accelerator, GPU, networking, RISC-V or datacenter SoC architectures.
  • Experience with chiplet-based or multi-die architectures.
  • Familiarity with advanced process technologies and package integration.
  • Experience with emulation, FPGA prototyping, and system-level validation.
  • Knowledge of Linux drivers, runtime software, or system software architecture.
  • Prior technical leadership experience across cross-functional engineering teams.

Compensation

  • $200,000-$250,000 per year (California).
  • This range represents the anticipated base pay for this role; the final offer may vary based on qualifications, experience, and location.
