TL;DR · Senior SOC Integration Engineer

The Senior SOC Integration Engineer joins the Compute Silicon & Manufacturing Engineering team to support the design, development, and manufacturing of Microsoft's state-of-the-art computer chips, specifically the Azure Cobalt. This role involves owning SOC implementation and integration strategies, ensuring RTL quality, and refining designs for area, power, and performance. Day-to-day responsibilities include integrating functional blocks into the SOC FPGA, writing basic tests, debugging features at IP and SOC levels, and leading the gate-level simulation team. Candidates must utilize Verilog, System Verilog, and industry-standard RTL tools while performing Lint, CDC, RDC, and Low Power Intent checks. The role addresses the technical challenge of delivering high-quality, high-volume cloud hardware infrastructure by managing complex subsystem and full-chip integration challenges, including clock/reset design and high-speed interfaces.

What you'll do

  • Own the SoC implementation and integration strategies.
  • Ensure RTL quality and timeliness by working with SoC Integration and IP Design Engineers.
  • Assess and refine implementation for area, power, and performance metrics.
  • Integrate various functional blocks into the SoC FPGA.
  • Write basic tests and debug features at both the IP and SoC levels.
  • Lead the gate-level simulation team to meet goals on time with high quality.
  • Perform design quality checks including Lint, CDC, RDC, and Low Power Intent.
  • Work with the verification team to ensure overall design quality.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Doctorate with 1+ years of experience, a Master's with 4+ years, or a Bachelor's with 5+ years of technical engineering experience.
  • Must be able to meet Microsoft, customer, and government security screening requirements.
  • Must provide proof of citizenship, US residency, or other protected status for export control eligibility.
  • 5+ years of technical experience/knowledge in SOC Integration (preferred).
  • Demonstrated expertise in Computer Architecture, Digital Design, IP, and SOC development (preferred).
  • Highly proficient in Verilog/System Verilog (preferred).
  • Experience with industry standard RTL tools, flows, and high performance/low power design techniques (preferred).
  • Experience in design flows including Lint, CDC, RDC, synthesis, timing, and power analysis (preferred).
