Skills/Experience:
* Excellent communication, documentation, and interpersonal skills with ability to convey proposals and interact effectively across a distributed multi-discipline organization
* Strong foundation of silicon design principles and architectural trade-offs
* Ability to span and connect levels of abstraction across system-design, high-level languages, OS, HW/SW interface, micro-architecture, and silicon implementation
* Background in architecture (IP or SoC), and/or front-end design/verification (micro-architecture)
* Demonstrated deep technical knowledge and achievements at the SoC, sub-system or large IP levels as micro-architect or architect
* Ability to apply appropriate abstractions and quantitative analysis for problem definition and solutions
* Experience in using, improving, and developing a variety of tools for analysis and modeling, such as functional and performance simulators, profilers, etc.
* Programming ability for modeling and automation (OOP C++, Python preferred) with experience in software development best practices including reviews, unit-testing, version control, etc.
* Ability and desire to develop and improve architecture methodologies for experiments and analysis
* Preferred with experience in the area of general SoC architecture (SoC Arch lead).
Qualifications:
* Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or related field required; Master’s degree or PhD highly desired
* 12-18 years of SoC/IP architecture or micro-architecture/front-end-design
* Candidates with primarily a micro-architecture/design background must have contributions that demonstrate higher-level analysis and design
Additional Experience and Expertise (the more the better)
