System on a Chip Architect

Background:

We are establishing a new architecture team focused on defining and designing our next-generation communication platform. This initiative is at the heart of our future product roadmap, driving innovation in high-performance, data-intensive hardware systems.

Role Overview:

We’re seeking an experienced SoC Architect to take a leading role in shaping the architecture of complex SoCs used in cutting-edge communications technology. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams including system, software, and firmware engineers to develop and validate performance models, explore architectural tradeoffs, and guide data-driven design decisions. This is a high-impact position for a hands-on architect who thrives on solving complex challenges and delivering real-world solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and architect the next-generation SoC platform for advanced communication systems
• Lead performance modeling, analysis, and architectural validation of hardware/software systems
• Drive architectural decisions based on deep understanding of microarchitecture, workloads, and system constraints
• Collaborate with software, firmware, and hardware teams throughout the development lifecycle
• Analyze performance bottlenecks and propose novel improvements at the system level
• Contribute to long-term architectural roadmap and innovation initiatives

Minimum Qualifications:

• BSc/MSc/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in hardware architecture or SoC design
• Strong knowledge of SoC architecture, microarchitecture, pipelining, cache hierarchy, and memory subsystems
• Hands-on experience with CPU, GPU, DSP, ARM, or ASIP architectures
• Experience with performance analysis and modeling of hardware/software systems
• Familiarity with VLSI flow, synthesis, power/performance tradeoffs
• Proficiency in Python or Matlab (advantage)
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Preferred Experience:

• Background in embedded systems, SoC, or networking
• Experience in GPU workload analysis or system-level architecture
• Proven ability to lead architectural projects and cross-disciplinary efforts
