SoC/System Architect
Overview
Job Purpose
We are looking for a highly skilled SoC/System Architect who will lead architecture definition and technical feasibility analysis for HPC/AI/Vision/Multi-media/Automotive/etc. SoC. The role focuses on early-stage customer requirement analysis, system-level design feasibility analysis, and architectural optimization to achieve best-in-class performance, power, and area (PPA).
Principal Accountabilities
• Performance, Power, and Area (PPA) Optimization
Conduct stage-by-stage PPA analysis across design phases.
Derive practical optimization directions for architecture, logic design, and floorplanning teams.
Collaborate with implementation engineers to realize architecture intent in physical design.
• SoC/System Architecture Definition
Define and review architecture across compute, memory, interconnect, multimedia, and interface subsystems.
Identify missing IPs, subsystem bottlenecks, and HW/SW interface inefficiencies.
Drive architectural improvements and system partitioning to meet PPA targets.
• Technical Feasibility & Early-Stage Architecture Review
Lead technical reviews in the feasibility/RFQ phase to assess SoC viability.
Analyze customer requirements and convert them into system-level architectural concepts.
Build optimization strategies based on performance, efficiency, and integration potential.
• Cross-Team Technical Collaboration
Communicate architectural feedback to customer and internal design teams.
• Contribute to design methodology and roadmap
Key Performance Measures
• Strong ownership and system-level thinking.
• Ability to identify bottlenecks and propose architecture-driven solutions.
• Collaborative mindset with clear technical communication and leadership.
Qualifications
• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or SoC Design related fields (Fresh Ph.D. holders are eligible)
• Expertise in SoC-level PPA trade-off analysis.
• Strong understanding of subsystem design (CPU, GPU, ISP, NPU, interconnect, memory hierarchy).
• Proven experience in cross-functional collaboration and architecture documentation.
