Senior Architecture & Performance Modeling Engineer Silicon (5916)

Requirements:
Senior Architecture & Performance Modeling Engineer Silicon (5916) A unique opportunity to take part in building a new Israeli R&D site from the ground up. We are looking for highly experienced, top-tier talents and visionary silicon architects to drive the development of advanced AI connectivity and networking architectures, shaping the sites technological foundation and long-term innovation. Responsibilities
Own the development of architecture and performance models for next-generation AI fabric - interconnect, memory systems, and networking pipelines.
Define and evaluate hardware and system architecture from concept to production, influencing key design decisions.
Analyze workloads, traffic patterns, and scaling behavior to identify bottlenecks and optimize performance across the silicon architecture.
Build, validate, and maintain high-fidelity simulation frameworks and tools (SystemC/ C ++/ Python or equivalent).
Collaborate closely with RTL, micro-architecture, verification, physical design, and software teams to ensure performance targets and architectural intent are met.
Contribute to the definition of IP and SOC architecture for innovative Switch, NIC, and distributed AI connectivity products.
Act as a key contributor in shaping the technological direction, methodologies, and culture of the new Israeli site. Requirements
10+ years of hands-on experience in architecture modeling, performance modeling, or silicon/ system architecture.
B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science required.
M.Sc. or Ph.D. advantage.
Proven track record in designing or modeling high-performance, scalable digital systems ( SOC, fabric, memory hierarchy, compute units).
Strong background in system architecture concepts such as NOC /fabric, cache/memory subsystems, traffic shaping, and throughput/latency analysis.
Hands-on experience with modeling tools and environments: SystemC, C ++, Python, cycle-accurate or trace-driven simulators.
Experience with Networking, Switch/NIC architectures, or AI workloads Required
Familiarity with ASIC development flows and collaboration interfaces with RTL, verification, and physical design.
Strong leadership, ownership, and ability to drive complex architecture initiatives independently.
Excellent communication skills and fluency in English.
