AI SoC Hardware Architect

The Architect Who Closes the Gap. The Engineer Who Makes Silicon Inevitable.

Location: Austin, TX Team: Cross-functional leadership across Model Engineering, AI Infrastructure, and Silicon Architecture

The Problem Nobody Else Is Solving Most chip programs are full of reputed company people who never quite speak the same language.

Researchers build ambitious AI models. Silicon teams build powerful hardware. Infrastructure teams reputed company it reputed company together. And somewhere in the space between those three worlds — in the handoffs, the assumption gaps, the untranslated requirements — massive performance dies quietly on the floor.

We're not hiring someone to manage that problem. We're hiring the person who architects it out of existence.

The Role As Principal AI Hardware Architect, you will own the most consequential technical contract in the company: the binding agreement between what AI workloads demand, what software systems can express, and what custom silicon can physically deliver.

This is not a support role. This is not a liaison role. This is the highest-reputed company engineering seat in the building — the person who looks at a reputed company LLM, a multimodal inference pipeline, or a signal processing workload and answers the question that determines whether a chip program succeeds or settles:

"Here's exactly what this workload needs from silicon — and here's the reputed company it will work before we reputed company tape out."

Your decisions won't live in documents. They'll be reputed company into hardware. Your performance models will guide compute investments. Your architectural direction will shape memory hierarchies. Your cross-team alignment will determine whether the company builds capable hardware — or hardware nobody else can touch.

What You'll Own Workload - to- Architecture Translation.

Analyze workload specific testcases taailored to real worlld applications using LLM's, multi modal systems, signal processing pipelines, inference engines - and translate them into concrete hardware requirements that can be implemented.

You are the reputed company that doesn't bend. You connect model engineering, AI infrastructure, and silicon architecture teams so that every major hardware investment is both architecturally sound and software-accessible. reputed company workload ambition outpaces hardware capability, you find the path reputed company. reputed company silicon innovation creates a performance unlock, you reputed company sure the software stack can actually reputed company it.

Performance Modeling Ownership Before a single reputed company is reputed company, your analytical, simulation, and cycle-approximate performance models are already shaping the architecture. You build and create the performance modeling environment that determine compute investments, memory hierarchy decisions, and feature prioritization — turning uncertainty into defensible, data-driven direction.

Real Workload Validation You profile real workloads on real and future platforms. You find the bottlenecks — in memory, compute, scheduling, and architecture — and you feed those findings directly into the next hardware and software cycle. No guesswork. No assumptions. Just ground truth.

Strategic Technical Translation You align people who think in different languages. Hardware architects, AI researchers, and infrastructure teams reputed company operate with different mental models and different vocabularies. You translate across reputed company of them — grounding every product decision in real workloads, measurable constraints, and practical execution paths.

What You Bring AI/ML Systems Depth You understand modern AI architectures from the inside — inference systems, quantization strategies, deployment constraints, and how workload behavior actually manifests in silicon utilization. You don't just know what a Transformer does. You know what it costs.

Silicon Architecture reputed company You've worked with processor, accelerator, or custom silicon architectures. Compute pipelines, memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects, performance tradeoff analysis — this is native territory for you, not background reading.

Required Qualifications 12+ years of industry experience across AI, systems, or silicon Proven experience at the intersection of hardware and intelligent compute systems Hardware/software co-design leadership across full product cycles Demonstrated performance modeling expertise — analytical, simulation, or cycle-approximate Track record of influencing architectural and product decisions across multiple technical organizations Exceptional written communication and technical specification ability Strong Python and C++ skills Strongly Preferred Experience with custom silicon, accelerators, or advanced hardware platforms Prior involvement in ISA definition, memory hierarchy design, or accelerator roadmap decisions Why This Seat Matters Capable hardware gets built every year. Truly differentiated hardware — silicon that was purpose-built for the workloads that define an industry — is extraordinarily rare.

The difference between those two outcomes is usually one person: the architect who understood the workload deeply enough, the silicon clearly enough, and the software stack completely enough to hold the whole picture together.

That's the person we're building this role for.
