Principal SoC Architect

Acceler8 Talent is partnered with an early stage startup backed by Tier-1 VCs that is rethinking AI infrastructure from first principles.

Founded by veterans with a track record of shipping some of the industry's most successful products, this start-up is innovating at the chip and system level to deliver an order of magnitude better performance and efficiency for inference workloads.

As a Principal SoC Architect, you'll be responsible for leading end to end SoC architecture of their chips.

Qualifications:

● You’ve architected real, shipping SoCs

● Strong knowledge of key SoC blocks and their interfaces

● You’re comfortable making trade-offs under constraints (PPA, schedule, cost)

● You’ve worked with architecture, RTL, firmware, and bring-up teams and across the full life cycle of SoC development

● Experience with PCIe Gen5 or higher, industry standard scale-up / scale-out interconnects, and UCIe integration

● Experience with HBM/LPDDR memory subsystem architecture, bandwidth modeling, and memory controller integration

● Control path design including CPU complex, boot flows, security, power/reset/clocking

● Close collaboration with RTL, firmware, validation, and packaging teams

● Silicon bring-up, debug strategy, and performance tuning

Bonus Points

● Early stage SoC development in a start-up environment

● Experience with chiplet or multi-die SoCs is a strong plus

● Experience with AI accelerators, GPUs, or high-bandwidth networking silicon
