The SOC Platform Architect joins the SoC Platform Architecture team to define scalable architectures for next-generation system-on-chip products across cloud, automotive, mobile, and IoT sectors. This role involves creating highly scalable architectures in areas such as Network-On-Chip, System MMU, Interrupts, Debug, Power Management, and Security. The architect will perform trade-off analyses to determine optimal solutions, collaborate with multi-discipline teams to integrate designs, and produce detailed architectural specifications for implementation. Key technical requirements include a strong foundation in silicon design principles, experience with heterogeneous compute, memory systems, and Arm or RISC-V architectures. Candidates should possess programming skills in C++ or Python for modeling and automation, alongside expertise in performance simulators and profilers. The role addresses complex challenges in power management, multi-die integration, and high-speed I/O to deliver advanced, scalable hardware solutions.
