Senior ASIC Architect

The role

You will work on the definition and realization of next-generation compute architectures. This involves driving system-level design and delivering silicon from first concept to production.

What you will do

• Carry the top-level architecture of Arago’s multiphysics compute platform.
• Own the architectural vision from concept through tape-out.
• Drive system modeling, specification, and implementation handoff.
• Work and mentor cross-functional hardware teams.
• Collaborate with software, packaging, and system integration teams.
• Evaluate new architectural directions.
• Develop performance and cost models.
• Guide prototyping efforts to de-risk innovations.

Required qualifications

• Proven track record in architecting complex, high-performance digital systems such as multicore processors, vector engines, and domain-specific accelerators.
• Deep expertise in computer architecture, including memory hierarchies, interconnects, cache coherence, instruction set design, and performance-power-area trade-offs.
• Hands-on experience with the design and integration of compute-intensive blocks such as vector arithmetic logic units (ALUs), SIMD pipelines, systolic arrays, and custom datapaths for signal or tensor
• Experience in leading full ASIC development cycles from architectural concept and modeling through RTL implementation, functional verification, physical design, and tape-out.
• Strong leadership and communication skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with advanced system integration and packaging technologies such as HBM, chiplets, and 2.5D/3D integration

Benefits

• Competitive cash compensation
• Meaningful stock option plan
• Relocation bonus and coverage of moving expenses for relocation within 20 minutes of the company’s location
• Healthcare coverage (including family-friendly options)
• Pension contributions
• Professional development support
• 25 days of PTO, in addition to public holidays
• Ownership of a key technical domain
