## Description

Position Summary: We are looking for a SOC Architect Fabric, System Cache and DRAM Controller to help architect next generation SOCs. This is a highly visible hands-on role leading individual and team contributions to Fabric, System cache and DRAM controller sub-system architecture, interface, performance and power tradeoffs., * Guide on development of innovative Fabric, System cache and DRAM controller Architectural and microarchitectural features to boost power and performance on various targeted workloads in next generation SOCs

 * Identify and deliver Fabric, System cache and DRAM controller subsystem architecture proposals for products in new and existing markets
 * Evaluate architecture proposal benefits in collaboration with team of SoC Architects and communicate the results across related engineering audiences (SW, HW, Architecture, Leadership)
 * Perform high-level performance modeling/simulation and analysis of Fabric, System cache and DRAM controller features, applications, benchmarks, and complex uses cases
 * Direct and orchestrate performance modeling, and studies to support inclusion of these features in the next generation "Fabric, System cache and DRAM controller" microarchitecture based on performance, area or power improvement
 * Deliver architecture/microarchitecture proposals and specifications to the design team and articulate them effectively across audiences ranging from hardware & software engineers to architecture community peers, and to technology leadership
 * Collaborate with silicon bring-up and product teams to verify and debug the proposal and its delivered performance
 * Collaborate across teams to bring microarchitectural proposals to fruition across the SOC, Driver, OS, System through detailed documentations, This position will be performed in an office setting. The position will require the incumbent to sit and stand at a desk, communicate in person and by telephone, and frequently operate standard office equipment, such as telephones and computers.
