What We Would Be Happy to See: * Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Architecture, or a related discipline. * Hands-on experience with performance modeling (e.g., C++, SystemC) and architectural simulation tools. * Familiarity with rapid prototyping methodologies and hardware-software co-design. * Previous experience operating within a true startup mindset, demonstrating a strong desire for continuous learning. * Knowledge of advanced packaging technologies (e.g., chiplets, 2.5D/3D integration). ## Description The Senior SoC Architect will define and drive the system-level architecture for our next- generation SoCs for AI and edge-computing applications. You will turn innovative ideas into reality by bridging the gap between software requirements and hardware implementation. By translating product and workload requirements into scalable system architectures, you will guide key technical decisions from early exploration through silicon bring-up, leading cross-functional efforts to deliver high-performance, power-efficient silicon solutions. What You'll Do: * Architecture Definition: Define the overall SoC architecture, including memory hierarchy, IP selection, high-speed interconnects, coherency, I/O, security, and power- management architectures. * Specifications & Roadmaps: Own SoC architecture specifications and roadmaps. Author, review, and maintain comprehensive architectural and micro-architecture documents. * Trade-off Analysis: Evaluate architectural tradeoffs, balancing performance, power, area (PPA), cost, and schedule specifically for edge computing workloads. * Performance Modeling: Analyze target AI workloads, and develop performance models to guide architectural decisions and identify bottlenecks across hardware and software. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with RTL, verification, firmware, compiler, and application teams throughout the development lifecycle to translate product requirements into actionable engineering plans. * Lifecycle Execution: Lead architecture reviews, document requirements, and ensure alignment between product goals and implementation. Support pre-silicon validation, post-silicon bring-up, performance characterization, and optimization. ## Related Videos - [Unleashing the Full Potential of the Arm Architecture – Write Once, Deploy Anywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/940-unleashing-the-full-potential-of-the-arm-architecture-write-once-deploy-anywhere) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Quantum Computing - The tiny and the big challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/934-quantum-computing-the-tiny-and-the-big-challenges) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) - [The future of automotive mobility: Upcoming E/E architectures, V2X and its challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/374-the-future-of-automotive-mobility-upcoming-e-e-architectures-v2x-and-its-challenges) ## Related Articles - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [Introducing Redis Agent Memory Server](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/699-introducing-redis-agent-memory-server) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 118 - not a total recall](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/452-dev-digest-118-not-a-total-recall) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again)
