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.
