About the role:
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. This is a tech lead role and requires in office presence in our Sunnyvale office. 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.
- 10+ years of experie
