SoC System Architect

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 subsystems Build and use SystemC and performance models to evaluate architecture options Analyse and optimise AI workload performance on the target architecture Drive power analysis and performance, power and area trade offs at system level Evaluate RISC based cores and other microprocessor options Work with EDA flows and design teams to make sure the architecture is implementable Write architecture specifications and guide teams through implementation

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

10+ years of experience in SoC, ASIC or microprocessor architecture Strong SystemC modelling and performance analysis experience Knowledge of RISC architectures and CPU microarchitecture Experience with AI or ML accelerator performance analysis Solid understanding of power analysis and EDA flows Strong specification writing and communication skills

YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU

You enjoy asking what the chip should do before asking how You back architecture choices with models and data, not opinion You're excited by how AI workloads are reshaping hardware You can explain complex trade offs to both engineers and managers You want to set the direction, not just follow it
