We are seeking an experienced ASIC Design Architect to own the hardware architecture, microarchitecture, and successful delivery of complex ASICs from concept through tape‑out and silicon bring‑up. The ideal candidate combines deep system and RTL expertise with both hands‑on technical experience and cross‑functional leadership. This role will define requirements, partition function into silicon blocks, lead microarchitecture and implementation strategy, and drive tradeoffs for performance, power, area and schedule.

• Define system and chip-level architecture based on product requirements (throughput, latency, features, power, area, cost).
• Translate system/network/software requirements into microarchitecture, block partitioning, interfaces, and verification strategy.
• Architect high-performance datapaths, control planes, memory subsystems, and I/O (Ser Des/PCIe/Ethernet/DDR/HBM) to meet PPA targets.
• Mentor and grow engineering teams; promote architecture best practices and cross‑discipline communication.
• Balance technical decisions with schedule, risk and business priorities; present tradeoffs and roadmaps to stakeholders.

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering or related field.
• 15+ years of ASIC design experience with progressive ownership of architecture/microarchitecture; proven record of tape‑outs.
• Strong datapath and system architecture skills: packet pipelines or equivalent high-throughput streaming architectures, buffering, arbitration and QoS/scheduling.
• Experience integrating high-speed Ser Des/PHY, MAC/PCS, and external memory controllers (DDR/HBM) and familiarity with signal integrity/clocking issues.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills; ability to drive tradeoffs with product management, firmware, verification, PD and foundry teams.

• Prior experience in datacenter switching/routing ASICs.
• Patents or publications in ASIC architecture or networking silicon.

• Able to set vision and translate it into deliverable milestones and measurable success criteria.
• Strong collaborator: leads cross‑functional teams, negotiates priorities, and escalates risks early.
• Mentors engineers, conducts architecture and design reviews, and codifies architecture patterns and best practices.
• Results-oriented: delivers under schedule pressure, balances technical excellence with pragmatic tradeoffs.
