Distinguished Technologist, ASIC Design Architect

We are seeking an experienced ASIC Design Architect to own the hardware architecture, microarchitecture, and successful delivery of complex ASICs from concept through tape-out and silicon bring-up. The ideal candidate combines deep system and RTL expertise with both hands-on technical experience and cross-functional leadership.

This role will define requirements, partition function into silicon blocks, lead microarchitecture and implementation strategy, and drive tradeoffs for performance, power, area and schedule.

- Define system and chip-level architecture based on product requirements (throughput, latency, features, power, area, cost).

- Translate system/network/software requirements into microarchitecture, block partitioning, interfaces, and verification strategy.

- Architect high-performance datapaths , control planes, memory subsystems, and I/O (SerDes/PCIe/Ethernet/DDR/HBM) to meet PPA targets.

- Mentor and grow engineering teams; promote architecture best practices and cross-discipline communication.

- Balance technical decisions with schedule, risk and business priorities; present tradeoffs and roadmaps to stakeholders.

- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering , Computer Engineering or related field

- 1 5 + years of ASIC design experience with progressive ownership of architecture/microarchitecture; proven record of tape-out(s).

- Strong datapath and system architecture skills: packet pipelines or equivalent high-throughput streaming architectures , buffering, arbitration and QoS/scheduling.

- Experience integrating high-speed SerDes/PHY, MAC/PCS, and external memory controllers (DDR/HBM) and familiarity with signal integrity/clocking issues.

- Excellent cross-functional communication skills; ability to drive tradeoffs with product management, firmware, verification, PD and foundry teams.

- Patents or publications in ASIC architecture or networking silicon.

- Able to set vision and translate it into deliverable milestones and measurable success criteria.

- Strong collaborator: leads cross-functional teams, negotiates priorities, and escalates risks early.

- Mentors engineers, conducts architecture and design reviews, and codifies architecture patterns and best practices.

- Results-oriented: delivers under schedule pressure, balances technical excellence with pragmatic tradeoffs.
