Job Description : : Silicon Principal Architect
The ideal candidate will bridge software requirements with hardware implementation, translating system objectives into high-performance, power-efficient micro-architectures while optimizing Power, Performance, Area, and Cost (PPAC). You will drive the complete silicon lifecycle from architecture definition through successful tape-out and post-silicon validation.
Key Responsibilities :
- Define and lead the architecture of complex System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions, including compute cores, memory subsystems, and high-speed interconnects.
- Translate product, software, and business requirements into detailed hardware architecture specifications.
- Develop system-level performance and power models to evaluate architectural trade-offs.
- Collaborate with RTL, verification, software, and physical design teams throughout the development lifecycle.
- Evaluate and integrate third-party IP, advanced packaging technologies (2.5D/3D), and emerging interface standards.
- Support post-silicon validation, debugging, performance tuning, and production readiness.
- Drive architectural innovation while ensuring scalability and manufacturability.
Required Skills :
- End-to-end VLSI lifecycle expertise.
- Strong SoC architecture and micro-architecture experience.
- Deep understanding of PPAC optimization.
- Memory architecture (DDR/HBM).
- Network-on-Chip (NoC).
- High-speed protocols such as PCIe and CXL.
- RTL and digital design knowledge.
- Architectural modeling and simulation.
Technical Skills :
- SystemVerilog
- C/C++
- Python
- Architectural simulation and modeling tools
Qualifications :
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.
- 15+ years of experience in semiconductor architecture and digital design.
- Proven track record of leading successful production silicon tape-outs.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills.
