Hi Connections,

We are hiring...

Job Title: Chip Architect / SoC Architect

Location: Hyderabad / Bangalore / Hybrid

Department: Semiconductor Design / AI Hardware R&D

Employment Type: Full-Time

Experience: 8+Years

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Chip Architect / SoC Architect to lead the definition, design, and integration of advanced semiconductor systems. The ideal candidate will be responsible for translating product requirements into optimized SoC architectures, balancing performance, power, and cost, and collaborating closely with cross-functional design teams to ensure a successful tape-out.

Key Responsibilities

● Define chip/system architecture including CPU/GPU/DSP subsystems, memory hierarchy, interconnects, and I/O.

● Develop architecture specifications, block diagrams, and high-level models.

● Evaluate technology choices, IP selection, and integration trade-offs.

● Perform performance, power, and area (PPA) analysis and optimizations.

● Collaborate with RTL, verification, physical design, and firmware teams to ensure design feasibility.

● Define security, reliability, and scalability requirements for the SoC.

● Support pre-silicon and post-silicon validation teams in architecture bring-up and debugging.

● Stay up to date with semiconductor trends, process technologies, and emerging AI/ML hardware architectures.

Required Skills & Qualifications

● Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

● 8+ years of experience in chip or SoC design, with at least 3 years in an architecture role.

● Strong understanding of microarchitecture design and system integration.

● Expertise in AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, LPDDR, MIPI).

● Experience with EDA tools for architecture modeling, simulation, and PPA estimation.

● Knowledge of low-power design techniques and clock/power domain management.

● Strong analytical skills and ability to make complex design trade-offs.

Preferred Qualifications

● Experience with AI/ML accelerators, neural network processors, or custom compute engines.

● Familiarity with RISC-V or ARM-based SoCs.

● Background in chip security features (secure boot, encryption engines).

● Prior experience with 5nm–28nm process nodes and chiplet-based architectures.

● Publications, patents, or contributions to semiconductor architecture standards.

What We Offer

● Opportunity to define cutting-edge chip architectures for next-gen products.

● Collaborative, innovation-driven work environment.

● Competitive salary, bonuses, and equity options.

● Career growth in AI hardware and advanced semiconductor technologies.
