Role Description The Principal Engineer – SoC Chief Architect role is a part time, remote position responsible for driving end-to-end architecture of complex SoC platforms. The person in this role will define system- and hardware-level architecture, specify interfaces and integration strategies, and guide power, performance, and area trade-offs across the design. Day-to-day activities include reviewing and refining RTL and physical design proposals, collaborating with design and verification teams, and ensuring architectural coherence from concept through implementation.

The role also involves mentoring engineering teams, contributing to technical roadmaps,



and providing architectural sign-off for key milestones.

Qualifications

- Strong System Architecture and Hardware Architecture skills, with experience defining complex SoC platforms and integration strategies.
- Expertise in Power Management, including low-power design techniques, power domains, and performance/power optimization.
- Proficiency in RTL Design, including micro-architecture definition, coding guidelines, and design-for-verification best practices.
- Experience in Physical Design, including floorplanning, timing closure considerations, and collaboration with backend teams.
- Extensive experience (typically 10+ years) in semiconductor or SoC design, preferably in high-performance or low-power systems.
- Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Ability to lead cross-functional technical discussions, make data-driven architectural decisions, and mentor engineering teams.
- Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools, design flows, and verification methodologies; exposure to emerging quantum or advanced computing architectures is a plus.
