We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Lead SoC Architect to lead the architecture definition and technical direction for next-generation semiconductor products. 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.  The ideal candidate must be willing to be an individual contributor while leading others. 

What You'll Do

 

  • Define top-level SoC architecture and subsystem partitioning for complex semiconductor products.
  • 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.
  • Define memory hierarchy, NoC/interconnect strategy, coherency architecture, and cache structures.
  • Evaluate and integrate third-party IPs including CPU, GPU, NPU, PCIe, DDR/LPDDR, Ethernet, multimedia, and security subsystems.
  • Work closely with verification teams to define architectural test plans and validation strategies.
  • Support silicon bring-up, debug, performance tuning, and post-silicon optimization.
  • Contribute to long-term technology and product roadmap planning. 

     

Required Qualifications

 

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
