SoC Interconnect Technology Team Lead

We are seeking an experienced SoC Interconnect Technology Team Lead to drive the architecture, design, and execution of next-generation coherent and non-coherent interconnect solutions for advanced SoCs. This role requires deep expertise in scalable interconnect fabrics across mobile, battery-operated, and large-scale compute systems, with a strong focus on performance, power efficiency, and system-level optimization.

You will lead a high-performing team responsible for delivering robust interconnect IP and shaping future SoC architectures.

• Lead the architecture and development of coherent and non-coherent interconnect fabrics for complex SoCs.
• Define and drive system-level interconnect strategies, including topology, Quality of Service (QoS), latency, bandwidth, and power optimization.
• Collaborate with CPU, GPU, NPU, memory, and system teams to ensure seamless integration and performance scaling.
• Drive adoption and implementation of industry standards (e.g., AMBA AXI/ACE/CHI or equivalent).
• Own performance modeling, analysis, and bottleneck identification across use cases.
• Guide microarchitecture, RTL design, and verification strategy for interconnect IP.
• Lead debug and root-cause analysis of complex system-level issues.
• Mentor and grow a team of architects and engineers.
• Contribute to roadmap planning for next-generation SoC interconnect technologies.

• 15+ years of experience in SoC architecture/design, with a focus on interconnects or system fabrics.
• Proven track record of delivering large-scale SoCs (mobile, battery-powered, or high-performance compute platforms).
• Deep understanding of coherent interconnect protocols (e.g., AMBA ACE, CHI, CCIX, CXL, or similar).
• Strong experience with non-coherent interconnects (AXI, NoC-based fabrics, etc.).
• Expertise in performance analysis, modeling, and system trade-offs (latency, bandwidth, power).
• Solid knowledge of cache coherency, memory hierarchy, and system architecture.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and driving complex projects to tape-out.

• Experience with battery-optimized SoC design (low power, DVFS, power domains).
• Familiarity with AI/ML accelerators, GPUs, or heterogeneous compute systems.
• Exposure to network-on-chip (NoC) design methodologies and tools.
• Experience with silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation.
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

• Strategic thinking with strong execution capability.
• Ability to influence architecture across multiple subsystems.
• Passion for building scalable, high-performance, and power-efficient systems.
• A track record of mentoring and building high-impact teams.
