SMTS Silicon Design Engineer
- Hyderabad, Telangana
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Responsible for driving the SoC architecture, with a particular focus on I/O subsystems connected over PCIe, UAL or CXL.
- Define I/O subsystem and PCIe DMA architectures, including their interactions with internal embedded processor-subsystems, Network on Chip, Memory controllers, and FPGA fabric.
- Create flexible and modular I/O subsystem architectures that can be deployed in either chiplet, monolithic or 3D form factors.
- Work with customers, and cross-functional teams to scope SoC requirements, analyze PPA tradeoffs, and then define architectural requirements that meet the PPA and schedule targets.
- Define I/O subsystem and DMA hardware, software, and firmware interactions with embedded processing subsystems and external CPUs.
- Author architecture specifications in clear and concise language. Guide and assist pre-silicon design/verification and post-silicon validation during the execution phase.
- Strong technical background architecting SoC and I/O subsystems involving PCIe, PCIe-DMA engines, or CXL.
- Deep technical knowledge of the PCIe or CXL protocol specifications, and how mandatory and optional protocol features are leveraged in PCIe or CXL devices.
- Domain expertise in embedded computing, aerospace & defense, data-center, networking, or automotive industries.
- Knowledge of I/O Subsystem and DMA interactions with internal embedded processor-subsystems (x86, RISC-V or ARM) and external host CPUs.
- Knowledge of bridging and ordering rule enforcement between on-chip protocols such as AXI, and off-chip protocols such as PCIe desired.
- Knowledge of ARM Processors and AXI Interconnects desired.
- Knowledge of FPGA and AI/ML Accelerators desired.
- Knowledge of boot, security, debug, telemetry and RAS desired.
- BS/MS/PhD in electrical or computer engineering or related field.
