We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.
As a SoC Architecture and Design Engineer, you will be part of the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG), contributing to the architecture, design, development, and integration of next-generation HBM SoC logic die. You will work closely with architecture, design, verification, physical design, firmware, and product teams to implement robust, high-performance SoC solutions that meet ambitious power, performance, area, and schedule targets. This is a hands-on technical role for candidates passionate about architecture, RTL build, IP integration, debugging, and pre/post-silicon support.
Key Responsibilities
  • Architect, design and implement RTL for SoC-level blocks and subsystems used in HBM logic die.
  • Architect and design memory sub-systems including memory IP selection and integration, bus and protocol selection, and power/performance/area optimization.
  • Integrate internal and third-party IP (e.g., controllers, microcontrollers, NOC, RAS, MBIST, interfaces, adapters, buffers, PHY-adjacent logic).
  • Translate architectural and micro-architectural specifications into high-quality RTL implementations.
  • Participate in SoC-level integration activities, including clocking, reset, power intent, and configuration infrastructure.
  • Assist with pre-silicon validation and post-silicon bring-up, including root-cause analysis of silicon issues.
  • Contribute to design documentation, block specifications, and design reviews.
  • Collaborate multi-functionally with Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, and Manufacturing to ensure robust and manufacturable builds.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with a minimum of 15 years of experience in a related field.
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog/Verilog and familiarity with SoC integration methodologies.
  • Experience with the RTL-to-GDS flow, including synthesis, static timing analysis, and develop sign-off considerations.
  • Familiarity with EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, and/or Siemens.
  • Programming or scripting experience (e.g., Python, TCL, Perl, or shell scripting).

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with HBM, DRAM, or memory-centric SoC designs.
  • Familiarity with high-speed interfaces, clocking strategies, reset architectures, and power management concepts.
  • Exposure to DFT concepts (scan, MBIST, BIRA/BISR) and debug.
  • Experience with hardware emulation or acceleration platforms. (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu)
