Role Overview

As a SoC Architect you will define and drive the architecture of next-generation XPUs for AI Infrastructure. This role involves end-to-end ownership of system and SoC architecture, from concept to silicon, with a strong emphasis on scalability, performance, interconnects, and system-level optimization.

What You’ll Do

- Define system architecture for complex SoCs, including compute, interconnect, memory, and IO subsystems

- Drive architecture for scalable and modular designs, including chiplet-based systems (UCIe)

- Architect high-performance data movement across:

- - Compute engines (ARM/RISC-V/ML/MAC)

- - Memory subsystems (DDR/LPDDR/HBM)

- - IO interfaces (PCIe/UCIe/CXL/UALink/ESUN)

- Collaborate with design and DV teams to ensure architectural feasibility and efficient implementation

- Develop performance models and simulations to validate architecture choices

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

- Define system-level verification and validation strategies

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

- Influence long-term roadmap and technology direction

What We’re Looking For

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





- 18+ years of experience in SoC or system architecture

- Proven track record of architecting complex 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 with performance modeling and architectural simulation

- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills

Good to Have

- Experience with memory architectures (DDR, HBM, cache hierarchies)

- Familiarity with chiplet architectures and advanced packaging (2.5D/3D)

- Knowledge of coherency protocols (CXL, CHI.)

- Experience with power/performance optimization at system level

- Exposure to software-hardware co-design

Key Attributes

- Strong system-level thinking and architectural vision

- Ability to balance innovation with practical execution

- High ownership and accountability

- Solid communication and 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
