• Define product features and capabilities, close architecture, and micro-architecture requirements, drive technical specifications for SoC and IP blocks to meet those requirements, and provide technical direction to execution teams
• Comprehend the SOC as a complete system which includes HW (Silicon), FW, BIOS & SW and ensure that FW, BIOS & SW are aligned to enable all features, optimizing for performance and power
• Work cross functionally with IP/Domain architects to identify and assess complex technical issues/risks and develop architectural solutions to achieve product requirements
• Knowledge sharing and other contributions to Platform & System Architecture
• As an overall product owner, responsible for architecture analysis and technical solutions for marketing/feature change requests
• Work closely with Design teams for Area and Floorplan refinement, Verification Test plan reviews, Timing targets, Emulation plans, Pre-Si bug resolution and Performance/Power Verification sign offs
• Excellent knowledge of System Verilog and Verilog language with respect to RTL design.
• Advanced DDR subsystem architecture, microarchitecture, development, and implementation experience.
• Excellent debug skills and knowledge of key DDR subsystem components.
• Development and maintenance of DDR Subsystem integration, documentation, timing, and floor planning through the lifecycle of pre-silicon development.
• Subsystem and block level documentation as well as timing diagrams
• In depth knowledge of standard IP interfaces, communication of interfaces, and IP interface protocol and utilization.
• Strong understanding of synchronization techniques (handshakes, message passing); knowledge of hardware level clocking and multi-domain simulation synchronization.
• Clock domain crossing implementation experience

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Outstanding foundation in Systems & SoC architecture, with expertise in Memory sub-system, Fabrics, CI/O subsystems, Clocks, Resets, and Security
• Experience analyzing System-level Micro-Architectural features to identify performance bottlenecks within different workloads
• Demonstrated expertise in power management microarchitecture, low power design and power optimization, along with power impact at architecture, logic design, and circuit levels
• Experience with DDR/JEDEC standard IP, DDR PHY, or Memory Controller RTL design and development.
• Knowledge and experience developing SVA/OVL and synthesizable assertions.
• Experience stitching block level IP together to form subsystems.
• VCS and Zebu Emulation verification and debug experience.
• Strong knowledge of git and perforce.
• UPF experience and knowledge of power supply implementations across subsystems and writing logic and timing constraints to handle clock domain crossings

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and relevant experience, or
• Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with relevant experience.
