Job description

As an HBM SoC Architect, you will work on SoC architecture of HBM logic die in the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG). You will be responsible for defining, driving, and owning the end-to-end architecture of next-generation HBM SoCs. You will work across architecture, RTL design, verification, firmware, systems, and product teams to translate product requirements into scalable, robust SoC architectures., * Define and own SoC-level architecture for next-generation HBM products, including partitioning, interfaces, clocking, reset strategy, power architecture, and performance targets.

  • Drive architecture tradeoff studies balancing performance, power, area, schedule, and risk across multiple product generations.
  • Collaborate closely with RTL design, verification, firmware, and systems teams to ensure architectural intent is correctly implemented and validated.
  • Serve as the technical authority for SoC-level decisions, resolving cross-team issues and guiding design convergence.
  • Define and review micro-architecture specifications for major SoC blocks and subsystems.
  • Enable pre-silicon validation strategies, including simulation, emulation, and early firmware bring-up, to reduce downstream risk.
  • Partner with platform, system, and product teams to ensure SoC architecture aligns with customer and ecosystem requirements.
  • Proactively identify architectural risks and drive mitigation plans early in the design cycle.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
  • Minimum 15 years of experience in a related field.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Proven ability to mentor and develop junior engineers., * Strong background in SoC architecture and design for complex, multi-block systems.
  • Deep understanding of RTL-to-silicon flows, including design, verification, and debug.
  • Solid knowledge of high-speed interfaces, clocking, reset, power management, and performance analysis.
  • Experience working with IP providers and seamlessly integrating complex IP from third parties into the SoC. This includes PHY, memory controllers, NOC, microcontrollers, MBIST, interfaces, adapters, RAS, buffers, etc.
  • Familiarity with hardware emulation and pre-silicon validation methodologies (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu) as architectural enablers.
