Job Level
SeniorLead
About the role
- Architect and define overall SoC including processing units, hardware accelerators, memory, interconnect, interfaces and analog components.
- Work hand in hand with product architects ensuring hardware architecture meets product goals.
- Define RAS strategies and support architecture of RAS features across Hardware Design and Software implementation.
- Develop hardware architecture models and simulations including RAS metrics (e.g., FIT, AVF).
- Evaluate architectural and micro-architecture options and impacts on PPAC.
- Conduct system-level modelling and analysis to optimize PPAC.
- Collaborate with Software and Firmware teams for system codesign.
- Evaluate new processes, technologies, trends, and industry standards.
- Perform hard and soft IP identification, analysis and selection.
- Lead architecture definition, reviews and provide technical guidance.
- Collaborate with design implementation, verification, physical design, software and firmware teams for development and design convergence.
- Support SoC execution across project milestones and drive dependency resolution.
- Define and develop system-level methodologies, tools, and IPs for efficient scalable SoC development.
