## Description

_**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
