SoC Architect

Role Overview

We are seeking aSoC Architectto define and drive the architecture of next-generation infrastructure. This role involves end-to-end ownership of system and SoC architecture, fromconcept to silicon, with a strong emphasis onscalability, performance, interconnects, and system-level optimization. 

Key Responsibilities

• Definesystem architecturefor complex SoCs, including IO, compute, interconnect and subsystems  

• Drive architecture forscalable and modular designs, including chiplet-based systems (UCIe)  

• Architect high-performance data movement across IO interfaces  ( PCIe / UCIe / CXL / UALink / ESUN )

• Collaborate with design and DV teams to ensurearchitectural feasibility and efficient implementation

• Developperformance models and simulationstovalidatearchitecture choices  

• Drive trade-offs across:  Performance, Power, Area and Cost 

• Work closely with customers and software teams to align architecture withreal-world workloads

• Influence long-term roadmap and technology direction  
• Definesystem-level verification and validation strategies

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field  

• 18+ years of experience inSoC or system architecture

• Proventrack recordof architectingcomplex SoCs for AI, HPC, or Networking  

• Deep understanding of:  

• • System-level design and trade-offs  

• • High-speed IO protocols (UCIe, PCIe, Ethernet)  

• • Data movement and interconnect design  

• • Experience withperformance modeling and architectural simulation

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills  

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge ofcoherency protocols (CXL, CHI.)

• Experience withpower/performance optimization at system level

• Exposure tosoftware-hardware co-design
• Experience withmemory architectures(DDR, HBM, cache hierarchies)  

• Familiarity withchiplet architectures and advanced packaging (2.5D/3D)

Key Attributes

• Strong system-level thinking and architectural vision  

• Ability to balanceinnovation with practical execution

• High ownership and accountability  

• Strong communicationand leadership skills  

Success Metrics

• Scalable and efficient SoC architectures across multiple generations  

• Achievement of performance, power, and cost targets  

• Strong alignment between architecture and silicon outcomes  

• Reduced architectural rework through early validation
