SoC Architect

Role and Responsibilities

The SoC Architect is a senior technical leader in the company, steering the capability progression of our leading-edge switch SoC and innovating to keep our products the technology leader in the market. The SoC Architect takes up the hardware architecture end-to-end lifecycle ownership of our SoC products. You will collaborate with our marketing and business development teams to identify use cases with impactful value for customers. You will collaborate with all the technical teams (RTL, Physical Design, Systems, Software) to deliver new SoC architecture features and defining the Soft/Hardware Co-Designs to efficiently enable such use cases. You will perform detailed performance analysis of the architecture features, applications, benchmarks, power-performance-area trade-off. Where applicable, you will employ performance modeling for complex use cases. You will exercise your domain expertise in one or multiple areas. These include Embedded CPU Subsystem, Platform Security, PCIe Interconnect, CXL Interconnect, Ethernet Interconnect, Data Network Switching, Power Management. You will be authoring the hardware specifications and architectural validation plan. You will review the downstream specifications and verification plans in ASIC, software and/or platform to ensure requirements are fulfilled. You will participate in the workgroups of different industry groups, including PCI-SIG, CXL, OCP, JEDEC, DMTF and other HPC and AI workgroups. You will apply for patents for the novel technologies in our architecture. Post-Silicon production support with silicon debug and publishing of customer documentation. You will also support the publication of customer documentation such as datasheets and programming guides. You will also support various post-silicon operations.
