Interconnect Architect - Austin, United States - Oho Group Ltd

Description

Fabric Architect

Hiring for an exciting start-up who have the objective to revolutionize the industry by developing computing platforms through hardware/software co-design, leveraging cutting-edge technologies. As a fabric architect, your role entails defining the internal interconnect architecture specification and determining its performance, power, and area requirements. This encompasses both coherent and non-coherent interconnects, as well as chiplet-to-chiplet connections. You will collaborate closely with members of the Silicon team (e.g., RTL/microarchitecture, DV, PD, Perf, DFT), as well as engage with industry consortia such as UCIe.

Fabric Architect Requirements:

• Comprehensive understanding of large-scale on-chip fabric or on-chip interconnect architecture.
• Familiarity with various on-chip network protocols such as AMBA, AXI, CHI, ACE, Tilelink, or APB.
• Knowledgeable about cache-coherent memory systems and interconnect.
• Understanding of different on-chip network topologies like ring, mesh, xbar, etc.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog or Verilog, C or C++, and scripting languages like Python.
• Experience working with functional and performance simulators.
• Understanding of logic design principles, including timing and power implications.
• Knowledge of low-power architecture techniques.
• Awareness of high-performance techniques and trade-offs in fabric architecture.

Fabric Architect Responsibilities:

• Contribute to architecture development and specification, spanning from early high-level architectural exploration to providing microarchitectural direction and crafting detailed specifications.
• Design coherent and non-coherent interconnects within the chip, considering coherency protocols, directory structures, bandwidth, and latency targets.
• Develop, assess, and refine architecture to meet power, performance, area, and timing objectives.
• Assist in creating and reviewing validation plans for both functionality and performance.
• PhD, Masters Degree, or Bachelors Degree in a technical subject area.
