## About the Role

If you're reading this, you're probably comfortable. You have a good job at a stable company with all the benefits., * 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

 * Strong cross-functional collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications

 * Knowledge of coherency protocols (CXL, CHI.)

 * Experience with power/performance optimization at system level

 * Exposure to software-hardware co-design
 * Experience with memory architectures (DDR, HBM, cache hierarchies)

 * Familiarity with chiplet architectures and advanced packaging (2.5D/3D)

Key Attributes
