About this role
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
