2) Comprehensive Benefits package including stock options!
3) The chance to join a small start-up tackling challenging problems with huge upside potential!

What You Will Be Doing

The ASIC Architect is a senior technical leader in the company, steering the capability progression of our leading-edge switch SoC and innovating to keep our products the technology leader in the market. The ASIC Architect takes up the hardware architecture end-to-end lifecycle ownership of our SoC products.

• Collaborate with our marketing and business development teams to identify use cases with impactful value for customers.
• Collaborate with all the technical teams (RTL, Physical Design, Systems, Software) to deliver new SoC architecture features and defining the Software/Hardware Co-Designs to efficiently enable such use cases.
• Perform detailed performance analysis of the architecture features, applications, benchmarks, power-performance-area trade-off. Where applicable, you will employ performance modeling for complex use cases.
• Exercise your domain expertise in one or multiple areas. These include Embedded CPU Subsystem, Platform Security, PCIe Interconnect, CXL Interconnect, Ethernet Interconnect, Data Network Switching, Power Management.
• Author the hardware specifications and architectural validation plan.
• Review the downstream specifications and verification plans in ASIC, software and/or platform to ensure requirements are fulfilled.
• You will evaluate 3rd party IPs to ensure that they comply with the protocol, performance, silicon area, power, and security requirements
• Participate in the workgroups of different industry groups, including PCI-SIG, CXL, OCP, JEDEC, DMTF and other HPC and AI workgroups.
• Apply for patents for the novel technologies in our architecture.
• Post-Silicon production support with silicon debug and publishing of customer documentation.
• Support the publication of customer documentation such as datasheets and programming guides.

What You Need for this Position

Must have a Master's (Ph.D. preferred) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar with 10+ years of experience:

• Proven track record of successful deployment of architectures/architecture features in SoC products.
• Proficiency in evaluating architecture proposals, 3rd party IP features and software/system algorithms and providing innovative guidance.
• Good ability in architecture analysis and system modeling
• Deep knowledge of the PCIe and CXL standards.
• Deep experience in defining security architecture for SoCs
• Deep experience in ARM CPU subsystem architecture, including memory subsystem design, cache subsystems and software debug architecture.
• Experience with the Linux OS including drivers, as well as BIOS is a plus
• Good knowledge in SoC security architecture including secure boot, attestation, data integrity, access control and security life cycle management is desirable.
• Familiarity with security and platform management standards such as SPDM, PLDM and Caliptra is a plus.
• Working knowledge of cryptographic algorithms and their implementation, including encryption, secure hash, digital signature, random bit generation is a plus.
