About this role
Envision Employment Solutions is currently looking for a SoC System Architect for one of our partners, an IT Services and IT Consulting company.
THE ROLE
Before a line of RTL is written, someone has to decide what the chip should be. You'll define system architecture for processor based SoCs with a strong focus on AI performance, modelling options, weighing power against performance, and setting the direction that design teams build on.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Define system level architecture for ASICs and SoCs, including processor subsystemsBuild and use SystemC and performance models to evaluate architecture optionsAnalyse and optimise AI workload performance on the target architectureDrive power analysis and performance, power and area trade offs at system levelEvaluate RISC based cores and other microprocessor optionsWork with EDA flows and design teams to make sure the architecture is implementableWrite architecture specifications and guide teams through implementation
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
10+ years of experience in SoC, ASIC or microprocessor architectureStrong SystemC modelling and performance analysis experienceKnowledge of RISC architectures and CPU microarchitectureExperience with AI or ML accelerator performance analysisSolid understanding of power analysis and EDA flowsStrong specification writing and communication skills
YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU
You enjoy asking what the chip should do before asking howYou back architecture choices with models and data, not opinionYou're excited by how AI workloads are reshaping hardwareYou can explain complex trade offs to both engineers and managersYou want to set the direction, not just follow it
