TL;DR · Radiation Effects & RAS Silicon Architect

The Radiation Effects & RAS Silicon Architect joins the Advanced Architecture, Technology & Verification Group to contribute to FPGA and SoC architecture definition and development. This role focuses on radiation effects and RAS for terrestrial and space markets, including telecom, avionics, automotive, and datacenter applications. The architect will apply IC Design and Solid State Physics fundamentals to develop solutions for Single Event Effects like SEU, SEL, and SEFI. Key responsibilities include defining SEE PDKs, test vehicles, and system-level radiation hardening solutions while contributing to XQR and space-grade FPGA architectural specifications. The position requires analyzing semiconductor technology scaling, building predictive models for radiation performance, and utilizing knowledge of FPGA and SoC architecture, implementation, and software tools to mitigate radiation sensitivity in silicon.

What you'll do

  • Develop industry-leading solutions for Single Event Effects (SEE) using IC Design and Solid State Physics fundamentals.
  • Define and develop SEE Product Design Kits (PDKs), test vehicles, and system-level radiation hardening solutions.
  • Contribute to the architecture definition of XQR and Space-grade FPGA and SoC products.
  • Create SEE and RAS architectural specifications for commercial and radiation-tolerant solutions.
  • Analyze the impact of semiconductor technology scaling on radiation sensitivity.
  • Build predictive models for next-generation radiation performance, including power and cost trade-offs.
  • Evaluate test vehicles at the FPGA level to ensure radiation tolerance.

What we're looking for

  • Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or equivalent.
  • Apply IC Design and Solid State Physics fundamentals to develop solutions for Single Event Effects (SEE).
  • Define and develop SEE PDKs, test vehicles, and system-level radiation hardening solutions.
  • Contribute to the architecture definition of XQR/Space-grade FPGA and SoC products.
  • Analyze semiconductor technology scaling and its impact on radiation sensitivity.
  • Build predictive models for next-generation radiation performance, including power and cost trade-offs.
  • Experience at a leading semiconductor company in advanced silicon process technologies and architectures (preferred).
  • Deep knowledge of radiation effects (SEU, SEL, SEFI, TID) and FPGA/SoC architecture (preferred).
