Silicon Architecture Engineer

Folsom, CA, United States

Job Description Do Something Wonderful!

Intel put the Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is this obsessed with engineering a brighter future. Every day, we create world changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth. So, if you have a big idea, let’s do something wonderful together. Join us, because at Intel, we are building a better tomorrow.

The CGAI architecture group is focused on execution in strategic growth areas of Gaming/Visual-Cloud and GPU-accelerated AI for Intel. In this challenging and forward-looking role, we are looking for outstanding architects at multiple levels to contribute to the SoC architecture team responsible for delivering complex multi-die high performance and low power GPU/AI/accelerator SoCs for discrete graphics, edge compute, visual cloud and server spaces.

The successful SoC Power Architect candidate would be expected, but not limited to:

Develop innovative and scalable solutions in the power, clocking, boot, thermal and reset domains across diverse workloads and product configurations.

Formulate scalable algorithms and proofs of solutions for limits management (power, thermal, current, VR, others), power management to achieve best in class PnP.

Comprehend the different layers of HW-SW interactions to create optimal architecture solutions and interfaces - from Drivers running on the Host to FW management across different SoC functions - suitable partitioning of responsibilities across different entities within the power management infrastructure.

Have a strong understanding and to align analysis of AI/3D rendering/media analytics/concurrent workloads and data (pre and post-Si) to identify and create maximum opportunities of proportional computing - ability to comprehend system performance bottlenecks for latency analysis and implications to closed/open loop optimal system solutions for best in class PnP.

Take ownership and delivery of architectural documents and engagements with implementation teams (design, verification, emulation and post-Si) to realize the system solutions - Writes clear and detailed technical documentation, specifications, and/or feature descriptions for complex projects to guide users and/or customers to use or implement output.

Provide multilayered technical expertise for next generation initiatives.

Influence SoC architects to align the SOC power architecture and Power management to the capabilities of the platform power delivery architecture to deliver optimized power efficiency and performance.

Perform with ambiguity and being able to adapt to evolving product requirements that are typical in the early architectural definition phase of programs.

Lead and drive virtual teams of senior cross-domain engineers.

Communicate a product vision clearly to team members and key partners and inspire actions that lead to great product definitions.

Knowledge of secure boot, system address map and requirements for PCIE/CXL devices and configurations to develop scalable boot solutions across HW/SW interacting with security, memory and DFX architects

Experience formulating the right boot and power management solutions in collaboration with Product and Platform, power Delivery and SW architects as well as SoC, memory, security, RAS, debug architects.
