SOC Architect - Management

Role Description

We are looking for a seasoned SoC Architect to lead the design and integration of the management subsystem within Majestic’s AI acceleration platform.

In this role, you will define and drive SoC-level architecture for control and management flows — integrating ARM cores, interconnects, high-speed IO, and system management interfaces. You’ll collaborate closely with peer architects, hardware, firmware, and system engineers to ensure a cohesive, high-performance design that bridges silicon and software seamlessly.

This is a hands-on architecture role that combines technical depth, system-level thinking, and cross-domain leadership in a fast-moving startup environment.

What You’ll Do

Define and own the management subsystem architecture for Majestic’s AI SoC.

Integrate ARM cores (CSS / Cortex-A) and associated subsystems for control, configuration, and monitoring.

Architect PCIe connectivity and high-bandwidth IO to ensure robust host and device communication.

Specify and integrate DDR/LPDDR interfaces and memory management structures.

Design peripheral and control interfaces, including SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, and system control buses.

Develop scheduler and interrupt schemes, driver-facing control paths, and configuration frameworks.

Integrate and optimize debug and trace infrastructures (CoreSight, profilers, diagnostic tools).

Collaborate with RTL, verification, firmware, and board teams to ensure seamless hardware-software co-design.
Drive tradeoffs and decisions to achieve performance, power, and area targets across the SoC.

Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

6+ years of experience in SoC architecture and design, with emphasis on management or control subsystems.

Proven experience with ARM core integration, PCIe, DDR/LPDDR, and peripheral interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART).

Strong understanding of SoC design flows, memory hierarchy, and interconnect fabrics.

Hands-on experience in control path design, driver interfaces, and interrupt management.

Solid communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to lead cross-functional architectural discussions.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd

Experience with AI/ML acceleration hardware or high-performance compute SoCs.

Knowledge of board-level integration and hardware-software co-validation.

Familiarity with silicon prototyping, emulation, or FPGA-based validation.

Expertise in low-power design and high-bandwidth interconnect architectures.

Deep experience with debug tools (CoreSight, trace analyzers, profilers) and performance instrumentation.
