Soc Architect

Key Skills:

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Define and develop scalable and efficient SoC architectures for compute-intensive applications
• Collaborate with cross-functional global teams across hardware, system architecture, and software domains
• Innovate and improve methodologies for architectural experimentation and performance analysis
• Contribute to architecture specifications involving coherency, memory management, virtualization, and interconnect
• Provide guidance on power, boot, debug, and security architecture integration
• Engage in performance and power modeling, simulation, and analysis
• Participate in SoC definition from concept to implementation, including support for RTL design and digital flow
• Mentor junior engineers and review architectural contributions across teams

Skills Required:

• Proven experience in SoC architecture, preferably in compute SoCs
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across multi-disciplinary and global teams
• Demonstrated ability to lead and contribute to complex architecture projects
• Hands-on experience with hardware/software co-design

Areas of Expertise (Preferred):

• Deep understanding of ARM and/or RISC-V architecture: coherency, signaling, memory management, virtualization
• Knowledge of DSPs, CPUs, high and low-speed peripherals
• Experience with DDR, system interconnect, system cache, and QoS strategies
• Expertise in power, boot, debug, and security/access control architectures
• Background in power and performance simulation, analysis, and modeling
• Familiarity with VLSI flows, from specification to tape-out
• Proficiency in HDL languages (Verilog, SystemVerilog) and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl)

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field is required
• Master's or PhD in a related field is highly desirable
