      <Title>SOC Architect</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>We are seeking an experienced SoC Architect to lead the definition and development of next-generation custom AI silicon for edge deployments. This role will be responsible for shaping the architecture of highly efficient, high-performance SoCs optimized for machine learning inference and on-device intelligence.</p>
<p>You will work cross-functionally with internal engineering teams and external ecosystem partners to translate product requirements into scalable silicon solutions, driving execution from concept through delivery.</p>
<p>Key responsibilities include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Defining the architecture and technical roadmap for custom SoCs targeted for edge applications.</li>
<li>Driving system-level tradeoff analysis across compute, memory, interconnect, power, thermal, and cost constraints.</li>
<li>Architecting energy-efficient ML compute subsystems optimized for inference workloads and real-world deployment environments.</li>
<li>Collaborating with internal hardware, software, systems, and product teams to align architecture with platform needs.</li>
<li>Partnering with external silicon vendors, IP providers, and manufacturing partners to execute development plans.</li>
<li>Leading hardware/software co-design efforts to maximize performance per watt and end-to-end system efficiency.</li>
<li>Guiding implementation teams through microarchitecture, RTL development, validation, and bring-up phases.</li>
</ul>
<p>To be successful in this role, you will need:</p>
<ul>
<li>Proven experience defining and delivering complex SoC or ASIC architectures from concept to production.</li>
<li>Deep understanding of AI/ML accelerators, edge inference workloads, and energy-efficient compute design.</li>
<li>Strong knowledge of SoC subsystems including CPU/GPU/NPU architectures, memory hierarchies, interconnects, and power management.</li>
<li>Experience working with both internal engineering organizations and external strategic partners.</li>
<li>Ability to lead cross-functional teams in fast-paced, execution-driven environments.</li>
<li>Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction across organizations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Preferred qualifications include experience with edge AI devices, embedded systems, or consumer hardware platforms, background in performance modeling, silicon cost optimization, and workload-driven architecture, and familiarity with advanced process nodes and modern semiconductor development flows.</p>
