Technologist ASIC Development Engineering

Responsibilities

• Drive SoC architecture with a focus on I/O subsystems connected over UCIe, PCIe, UAL, or CXL
• Define I/O subsystem and PCIe DMA architectures, including interactions with embedded processors, NoC, and memory controllers
• Create flexible, modular I/O subsystem architectures for chiplet, monolithic, or 3D form factors
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to scope SoC requirements and analyze PPA (Power, Performance, Area) tradeoffs
• Author clear architecture specifications and guide pre-silicon design, verification, and post-silicon validation
• Improve AI/ML ASIC performance through hardware/software co-optimization and workload analysis (LLM, GPU, etc.)
• Architect memory-efficient inference and training systems using techniques like pruning, quantization, and speculative decoding

Requirements

• Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Computer or Electrical Engineering
• 14+ years of hands-on architecture experience authoring technical specifications
• Expertise in SoC and I/O subsystems, specifically PCIe, UCIe, CXL, or UAL protocols
• Deep understanding of ML, LLM, and GPU/TPU/NPU architectures
• Experience with DMA, Network on Chip (NoC), and memory controllers
• Strong knowledge of computer/graphics architecture and high-speed networking

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience architecting GPU/TPU/xPU accelerator systems with optimized high-bandwidth memory hierarchies
• Familiarity with NVLink, InfiniBand, or RDMA
• Knowledge of ARM processors, AXI interconnects, and bridging/ordering rule enforcement
• Expertise in transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and model parallelism
• Proficiency in CUDA programming and hardware-specific optimizations
• Experience with NVMe storage systems, protocols, and NAND flash
