Senior Hardware ASIC Arch/Design Engineer

Job description

Architecture & Micro-Architecture · Define product feature and capabilities and own the architecture for compute, memory, interconnect & high-speed interface subsystems in the AI inference chip. · Collaborate with various software teams to co-optimize hardware features for AI workloads. · Collaborate with RTL designers to identify complex technical issues/risks. Review and guide RTL implementation, ensuring consistency with architectural intent and timing/power goals · Collaborate with Physical-design teams for Area/Floorplan refinement, Timing targets etc. · Define and document interface specifications, control/status logic, and pipeline structures. · Lead PPA analysis and trade-off discussions across RTL and architecture. AI Workloads & HW-SW Co-Design · Collaborate closely with various software to co-optimize hardware features for real-world AI inference workloads. · Incorporate considerations such as, quantization, sparsity, dataflow, scheduling, memory bandwidth into architectural decisions. · Guide hardware features that improve programmability, debuggability, and long-term software scalability. Modelling & Analysis · Develop and maintain high-level architecture and performance models. · Use simulation and architectural models to guide RTL-level improvements. · Validate model predictions against RTL or emulation results and refine accordingly. · Strong understanding of AI inference workloads, dataflows, quantization, and memory/bandwidth bottlenecks in edge deployments More information about NXP in India... #LI-2734
