Soc Architect

Job Description

In this challenging and forward-looking role, we are looking for outstanding architects at multiple levels to contribute to the SoC architecture team responsible for delivering complex multi-die/2.5-3D high performance and low power GPU/AI/accelerator SoCs for supercompute, discrete graphics, edge compute, visual cloud and server spaces.

The successful candidate would be expected to:

• Develop innovative and scalable solutions in the power, clocking, boot, thermal and reset domains across diverse workloads and product configurations.

• Formulate scalable algorithms and proofs of solutions for limits management (power, thermal, current, VR, others), power management to achieve best in class PnP.

• Comprehend the different layers of HW-SW interactions to create optimal architecture solutions and interfaces – from Drivers running on the Host to FW management across different SoC functions – suitable partitioning of responsibilities across different entities within the power management infrastructure.

• Have a strong understanding and to align analysis of AI/HPC/inference/training/3D rendering/media analytics/concurrent workloads and data (pre and post-Si) to identify and create maximum opportunities of proportional computing – ability to comprehend system performance bottlenecks for latency analysis and implications to closed/open loop optimal system solutions for best in class PnP.

• Take ownership and delivery of architectural documents and engagements with implementation teams (design, verification, emulation and post-Si) to realize the system solutions - Writes clear and detailed technical documentation, specifications, and/or feature descriptions for complex projects to guide users and/or customers to use or implement output.

• Provide multilayered technical expertise for next generation initiatives.

• Influence SoC architects to align the SOC power architecture and Power management to the capabilities of the platform power delivery architecture to deliver optimized power efficiency and performance.

• Perform with ambiguity and being able to adapt to evolving product requirements that are typical in the early architectural definition phase of programs.

• Lead and drive virtual teams of senior cross-domain engineers.

• Communicate a product vision clearly to team members and key partners and inspire actions that lead to great product definitions.

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor/master’s degree in computer science/computer engineering or any STEM related degree.

• Over 8+ years of SoC architecture experience in power management, boot, thermal, reset, clocking and adjoining areas.

• Knowledge of secure boot, system address map and requirements for PCIE/CXL devices and configurations to develop scalable boot solutions across HW/SW interacting with security, memory and DFX architects

• Experience formulating the right boot and power management solutions in collaboration with Product and Platform, power Delivery and SW architects as well as SoC, memory, security, RAS, debug architects.

• Hands-on coding experience in Python, C++, MATLAB – able to model solutions and showcase the feasibility in pre-Si

Preferred qualifications:

• Knowledge of Graphics and accelerator architecture is a plus.

• Prior knowledge of PCIE and CXL protocols is a plus.

• Hands on Post-Si debug experience

• Die-to-die integration and advanced packaging experience is a plus.
