SoC Architect, Manager

A NauWork semiconductor client is seeking an SoC Architect, Manager/Leader to join their Network and Edge team in Haifa or Petah Tikvah, Israel.

As an SOC Architect Manager, you will play a pivotal role in delivering the product roadmap of the organization and getting projects to production on first silicon. You will lead a team of talented engineers within the Architecture organization, and collaborate with cross-functional teams, with the VP of Silicon, and with key customers to execute the silicon architecture strategy for cutting-edge cloud networking products. This role requires a deep understanding of semiconductor design, advanced process technology, and a successful silicon development track record.

In this role, you will:

Supervise and drive end-to-end SoC implementation within a project lifecycle and across product generations, including firmware, hardware, and platform integration for highly optimized, modular, and scalable network SoCs.

Refine SoC functionality, connectivity, configuration, performance, timing, power, and area goals.

Drive evaluation and integration of existing IP blocks into new SoCs as well as the specification of adaptation logic.

Evaluate feasibility trade-offs and late binding microarchitecture iterations.

Invent, conceptualize, and specify microarchitecture and architectural features for next generation products for performance and power optimizations.

Participate in the crafting of test plans, and testing infrastructure for block and full-chips environments

Analyze test results using advanced statistics and data predictions for benchmarking performance and determining areas for improvement.

Provide experimental/proof-of-concept changes for proposing design alternatives meeting performance, power, area, and timing constraints.

Review, challenges, and influences cross-functional roadmaps and defines technology targets for future SoCs.

Collaborate with architects, design engineers, system engineers, and verification engineers to improve the overall design of SoCs and overcome constraints.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related area of study (postgraduate degree preferred)

9+ years of experience in semiconductor design, including microarchitecture definition, implementation, and validation.

Strong networking experience as a practitioner from L1 through L4, and the intersection of networking with semiconductors. Require queueing and traffic management expertise.

Strong understanding of server I/O subsystems and interfaces.

Proven track record of successfully leading silicon architecture and managing/leading architects from concept to production, ideally in high-end networking and communication. Ability to inspire and guide a diverse group of engineers.

Experience in architecture performance and power optimization.

Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a demonstrated ability to tackle complex technical challenges.

Effective communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
