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
Robust cross-functional collaboration skills

Valuable 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
Strong communication and leadership skills

Success Metrics
Scalable and productive 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
