The Lead SoC Architect will lead the architecture definition and technical direction for next-generation physical AI SoC platforms. This role involves defining overall SoC architecture, driving system-level innovation, and delivering breakthrough architectures across heterogeneous compute, advanced memory systems, AI acceleration, high-performance interconnects, and leading-edge I/Os. The architect will perform performance modeling, power modeling, silicon feasibility studies, and develop detailed specifications for processor subsystems, safety, security, and boot management. Key technical domains include x86 and ARM cores, GPU compute architecture, DSP pipelines, NPUs, and multi-chiplet partitioning. The role requires expertise in high-bandwidth memory, interconnect fabrics, and high-speed I/Os to solve complex problems in Automotive ADAS, Wireless modem control, and AI inference or training. The successful candidate will manage PPA trade-offs while mentoring other architects to ensure architectural rigor across the entire product roadmap.
