SoC Architect

$175k - $350k

TYLsemi

We are seeking a SoC Architect to define and drive the architecture of next‑generation XPUs for AI Infrastructure. This role involves end‑to‑end ownership of system and SoC architecture, from concept to silicon, with a strong emphasis on scalability, performance, interconnects, and system‑level optimization. Key Responsibilities Define system architecture for complex SoCs, including compute, interconnect, memory, and IO subsystems. Drive architecture for scalable and modular designs, including chiplet‑based systems (UCIe). Design memory subsystems (DDR, LPDDR, HBM). Collaborate with design and DV teams to ensure architectural feasibility and efficient implementation. Develop performance models and simulations to validate architecture choices. Drive trade‑offs across performance, power, area, and cost. Define system‑level verification and validation strategies . Work closely with customers and software teams to align architecture with real‑world workloads. Influence long‑term roadmap and technology direction. Leverage AI tools and agents to enhance engineering productivity, quality, and scalability. Partner with AI engineers to define, shape, and operationalize AI‑driven workflows for design, verification, analysis, and quality assurance. Drive adoption of AI‑enabled methodologies to improve efficiency, coverage, and time‑to‑silicon. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. 18+ years of experience in SoC or system architecture. Proven track record of architecting complex SoCs for AI, HPC, or networking. Deep understanding of system‑level design and trade‑offs. Expertise in high‑speed IO protocols (UCIe, PCIe, Ethernet). Experience with performance modeling and architectural simulation. Strong cross‑functional collaboration skills. Preferred Qualifications Experience with memory architectures (DDR, HBM, cache hierarchies). Familiarity with chiplet architectures and advanced packaging (2.5D/3D). Knowledge of coherency protocols (CXL, CHI). Experience with power/performance optimization at the system level. Exposure to software‑hardware co‑design. Key Attributes Strong system‑level thinking and architectural vision. Ability to balance innovation with practical execution. High ownership and accountability. Strong communication and leadership skills. Success Metrics Scalable and efficient SoC architectures across multiple generations. Achievement of performance, power, and cost targets. Strong alignment between architecture and silicon outcomes. Reduced architectural rework through early validation. Compensation 175,000 – 350,000 USD per year (San Jose, HQ). #J-18808-Ljbffr TYLsemi
