About the role
AMD's SOC Architecture team works on the architecture and development of next-generation complex SoCs. The role involves collaborating with senior architects and cross-functional engineering teams to define SoC architecture, subsystem requirements, interfaces, data flows, and implementation specifications. Based in Hyderabad (with Bangalore also open), the position spans areas such as PCIe/high-speed I/O, Ethernet, security, debug, and processor subsystems.
What you will do
- Define and develop SoC and subsystem architecture in collaboration with architecture and engineering teams.
- Translate product and system requirements into architecture requirements, interfaces, data flows and implementation specifications.
- Perform early-stage architecture analysis and evaluate performance, power and area (PPA) trade-offs.
- Drive architectural decisions across processors, memory subsystems, interconnects, high-speed interfaces and SoC infrastructure.
- Develop and review architecture specifications, block/interface requirements and system-level design documentation.
- Participate in SoC integration, architecture reviews and resolution of cross-IP/subsystem dependencies and design issues.
- Contribute to areas such as clock/reset architecture, power management, interrupts, address mapping, memory architecture, security, debug and system-level connectivity, depending on the candidate's expertise.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- We are open to candidates with strong experience in any one of the areas like SoC Architecture, Micro-architecture, RTL Design, SoC Design & Integration, or Design Verification, who demonstrate strong system-level understanding and are interested in driving broader SoC architecture responsibilities.
- You have a passion for understanding and designing modern, complex heterogeneous SoCs and enjoy solving problems that span multiple IPs and engineering disciplines.
- You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are comfortable collaborating with architecture, design, verification, physical design, firmware/software, and other cross-functional teams.
- You are able to understand complex technical problems, evaluate architectural trade-offs, communicate clearly across teams, and drive issues toward technically sound solutions.
- You may already be working as an architect, or you may be a strong micro-architecture, RTL, integration, or verification engineer looking to expand into SoC architecture ownership.
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
- 5+ years of relevant experience in SoC architecture, micro-architecture, RTL design, SoC integration or verification
