SoC Staff Architect

The SoC Architecture team is responsible for defining high-performance and power efficient System-on-Chip hardware architecture.

The team identifies Hardware Requirements, defines the overall SoC system and delivers High-level Architecture Specification (HAS) integrating multiple processing units, memory, interconnects, accelerators, interfaces and peripherals to achieve optimal Power, Performance, Area and Cost (PPAC) efficiency. The team is also responsible for overall aspects of security, debug, production test and device packaging and for defining and maintaining Configuration Management processes for scalable and configurable architectures.

The team works closely with Product, Technology, Software and AI, and Hardware Engineering Teams for Design Implementation and Verification.

The Role:

The ideal candidate should have strong knowledge of hardware architectures, VLSI design, and successful industry experience with deployment of IPs in large SoC while working in a collaborative environment.

In this team your responsibility will include, but not limited, to:

• Architect and define overall SoC including processing units, hardware accelerators, memory, interconnect, interfaces and analog components.
• Work hand in hand with the product architects making sure hardware architecture meets the product goals.
• Conduct system-level modelling and analysis to optimise for power, performance, area and cost.
• Work with Software and Firmware teams for efficient and optimal system co-design.
• Evaluate new processes, technologies, trends, and industry standards.
• Perform hard and soft IP identification, analysis and selection.
• Lead architecture definition, reviews and provide technical guidance.
• Work with peer micro architect across the organization aligning product and architecture definition.
• Collaborate with design implementation, verification, physical design, software and firmware teams for development and design convergence.
• Support SoC execution across project milestones working with all cross-functional teams to identify and drive complex dependencies resolution.
• Define and develop system-level methodologies, tools, and IPs to build SoCs in an efficient and scalable manner.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field
• 10+ years of solid experience in IP/SoC architecture and design for ASIC or FPGA
• Experience with architecture trade-offs and design methodologies for optimal performance power area cost (PPAC) in advanced technologies.
• Proficiency in performance modelling, simulation frameworks and scripting.
• Strong knowledge and industry expertise in multiple aspects of SoC architecture definition such as Clocks, Resets, Power-Sequencing, Power Management, Interrupts, Interconnects, Boot, Virtualization, Security, System Performance, IO technologies, Platform integration.
• Experience with RISC-V based Systems.
• General knowledge with industry standard integration tools.
• General knowledge of SoC implementation standards, interconnect (AMBA, AXI, CHI) and interfaces (PCIe, UCIe, I2C, I3C, SPI, JTAG)
• General knowledge of Advanced packaging (2.5D, 3D, SiP, CoWoS) and chiplets.
