### Memory Subsystems and Low-Power Data Transport
**Level:** Principal Architect/Distinguished Architect
**Function:** Silicon Architecture AI/ML Accelerators
---
## The Role
You will define the end-to-end memory *and* data transport architecture for our
accelerators from the memory technology we bet on through the controller on-die network
and DMA engines all the way into the scratchpads feeding the compute blocks. This is not a
pick the DRAM generation role. It is ownership of the whole data path across multiple
silicon generations including the performance-versus-power analysis that decides major
trade-offs and the co-architecture with internal teams and external memory/IP vendors.
---
## What Youll Own
**Memory architecture and roadmap.** Multi-generation memory strategy across the portfolio
HBM LPDDR/GDDR/DDR on-die SRAM hierarchies and scratchpads.
Capacity bandwidth and latency requirements derived from real AI workloads
(model size KV-cache growth prefill versus decode MoE sparsity). Memory controller and
cache/scratchpad microarchitecture: scheduling address mapping QoS across compute DMA
and host traffic.
**Data transport and energy-efficient movement.** The complete path from memory to the MACs:
on-die interconnect (topology flow control deadlock avoidance QoS under mixed traffic)
and the DMA gather/scatter layout-transform and multicast engines that make it usable.
You own the pJ/bit budget as a first-class constraint.
**Modeling and silicon realization.** Analytical and simulation-based models that make
architectural calls with quantified confidence.
## Minimum Qualifications
- MSEE/MSCE or PhD in EE CE CS or related field or equivalent demonstrated
architectural impact.
- 18 years in ASIC/SoC architecture focused on memory systems and data movement for HPC or
AI. Deep knowledge of memory subsystems: HBM DDR/LPDDR/GDDR controller architecture cache
coherency and memory consistency models tiered and pooled memory.
- Demonstrated ownership of a data movement architecture on-die interconnect DMA/copy
engines buffer hierarchies and the dataflow connecting them to compute including what
each protocol (NVLink UALink RDMA ARM CHI UCIe PCIe) actually costs in latency area and power.
- Strong performance modeling and system-level simulation background; first-principles
command of latency throughput utilization and scalability.
