Principal SoC Architect

Acceler8 Talent is partnered with an early stage startup backed by Tier-1 VCs that is rethinking AI infrastructure from first principles. Founded by veterans with a track record of shipping some of the industry's most successful products, this start-up is innovating at the chip and system level to deliver an order of magnitude better performance and efficiency for inference workloads. As a Principal SoC Architect, you'll be responsible for leading end to end SoC architecture of their chips. Qualifications Strong knowledge of key SoC blocks and their interfaces You’re comfortable making trade-offs under constraints (PPA, schedule, cost) You’ve worked with architecture, RTL, firmware, and bring-up teams and across the full life cycle of SoC development Experience with PCIe Gen5 or higher, industry standard scale-up / scale-out interconnects, and UCIe integration Experience with HBM/LPDDR memory subsystem architecture, bandwidth modeling, and memory controller integration Control path design including CPU complex, boot flows, security, power/reset/clocking Close collaboration with RTL, firmware, validation, and packaging teams Silicon bring-up, debug strategy, and performance tuning Bonus Points Early stage SoC development in a start-up environment Experience with chiplet or multi-die SoCs is a strong plus Experience with AI accelerators, GPUs, or high-bandwidth networking silicon #J-18808-Ljbffr Acceler8 Talent
