Staff SoC Integration and Performance Lead

What you'll do

• Integrate performance-critical Arm IP into SoC-level RTL platforms for early performance analysis.
• Modify and stitch RTL components to evaluate various SoC configurations and architecture variants.
• Bring up SoC platforms in RTL simulation and emulation environments for performance exploration.
• Modify system-level firmware to enable boot flows, workload execution, and test-case bring-up.
• Verify SoC functionality using bare-metal tests, benchmark workloads, and OS boot flows.
• Debug performance issues across CPU, interconnects, memory subsystems, and other key SoC blocks.
• Collaborate with architects to define and refine future SoC architecture choices.
• Drive the resolution of integration, firmware, and workload issues across multi-disciplinary teams.

What we're looking for

• Strong understanding of computer architecture, SoC architecture, memory subsystems, and bus/interconnect protocols.
• Hands-on experience integrating IP and bringing up full-chip SoC test cases in RTL simulation and/or emulation environments.
• Experience developing or modifying RTL using Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Experience with SoC-level debug including reset, clock, memory map, interrupt, interconnect, and firmware interactions.
• Experience enabling workloads, benchmarks, or bare-metal tests on RTL simulation and performance emulation platforms.
• Ability to analyze performance data and identify bottlenecks across SoC components.
• Proficiency with Unix/Linux environments, scripting languages, and source-control systems like Git or Subversion (preferred).
• Familiarity with Arm architecture, AMBA protocols, boot firmware, and system-level performance analysis (preferred).
