This includes defining architecture specifications, collaborating with teams to optimize performance, and engaging with semiconductor industry partners to shape ecosystem directions.## Responsibilities
* Architect next-generation digital subsystems and compute fabrics for 2.5D/3D microsystems—enabling scalable, high-bandwidth integration across AI, HPC, and wireless acceleration platforms.
* Define and optimize architecture specifications, dataflows, and interconnect topologies (chiplet fabrics, No

Cs, HBM, PCIe/CXL) across heterogeneous dies.
* Collaborate with EDA, packaging, and system modeling teams to co-optimize digital architectures for performance, power, and reliability.
* Lead system-level modeling and design-space exploration for AI and signal-processing workloads using simulation and prototyping frameworks.
* Engage with industry partners and standards bodies (UALink, NVLink Fusion, Ultra Ethernet, CXL 3.x) to shape ecosystem directions.
* Mentor internal design teams on RTL methodologies, IP integration, and verification best practices for multi-die systems.
* Translate architectural innovations into roadmaps and reference designs, driving alignment between research, productization, and customer enablement.
* Other related functions as assigned.##
