System Architect

A premier Israeli R&D and Innovation Center of a world-renowned global technology enterprise, employing hundreds of specialists locally.

Operating as an advanced research laboratory at the convergence of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the center pioneers next-generation defense platforms covering endpoint protection, browser security, and autonomous AI-driven prevention engines.

The organization pairs the immense resources, technological depth, and long-term stability of an international tech giant with an agile culture of continuous learning, architectural influence, and a genuine commitment to work-life balance.

Development hubs are located in the Sharon area or the Northern region, operating on a hybrid model with two days working from home.

Role Description-

• Serving as a Senior AI Processor & CPU Architect, taking a leading architectural role in defining, modeling, and driving next-generation AI processors and high-performance compute architectures.
• Architecting and developing cycle-accurate, performance, and functional models for advanced AI processors and CPUs utilizing SystemC and pre-silicon simulation environments.
• Leading end-to-end architectural solutions, proposing innovative technical trade-offs, and driving core system-level design decisions.
• Collaborating closely with Hardware/RTL architects, Silicon designers, and Low-Level Software teams to drive comprehensive Hardware/Software Co-Design and specify future capabilities.
• Profiling, modeling, and analyzing performance bottlenecks across emerging AI/ML workloads (LLMs, neural networks, inference engines) under simulated real-world scenarios.
• Developing Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) for novel architectural primitives, evaluating microarchitectural alternatives, and validating hypotheses through simulation data.
• Leading architectural feature definition and technical governance throughout pre-silicon planning phases.
