The Senior SoC Compute/Memory Subsystem Architect role at Intel's CEG NAG team focuses on defining the architecture for high-performance networking silicon. This position involves optimizing compute complexes and memory subsystems for next-generation IPU/DPU platforms. The architect will work on system-level performance, scalability, and power efficiency while ensuring seamless integration with networking and storage subsystems. The role requires collaboration across various engineering disciplines to drive architecture alignment and resolve trade-offs.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a STEM related field.
• 7+ years of experience in SoC, CPU, or memory subsystem architecture.
• Experience with CPU architecture and cache hierarchies.
• Knowledge of memory subsystems including DDR/HBM and controllers.
• Familiarity with coherent and non-coherent interconnect architectures.
• Experience in system-level performance and PPA trade-off analysis.
• Ability to drive architecture definition from concept to silicon.

• Define architecture for IPU compute complexes including core selection and scaling strategy.
• Architect compute subsystem roles such as control plane and data plane assist.
• Drive compute architecture decisions balancing performance, power, and area.
• Define and evolve multi-level cache hierarchy and architect coherency models.
• Architect system memory subsystems including DDR/LPDDR interfaces and memory controllers.
• Ensure optimal balance between latency-sensitive control workloads and bandwidth-intensive datapath workloads.
• Define architecture for SMMU/IOMMU supporting virtualization-heavy IPU workloads.
• Architect integration between compute, network, and storage subsystems.
• Define compute and memory strategies for power efficiency and scalability.
• Lead long-term roadmap for compute and memory evolution across IPU/DPU product generations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive architecture alignment.

• Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
