About the Role

We are seeking an experienced PCIe endpoint architect to join our team at Ampere.

Your expertise in high-performance, high-bandwidth device interconnects and modern methods of device abstraction and security will be invaluable in this role.

Key Responsibilities
  • Own the architecture of the product from initial path-finding to production, and support it through execution to product tape-out, and through post-si validation to production
  • Work with the broader AI accelerator team to understand the target workloads and compute and memory needs of the product and translate this into requirements of the interconnect
  • Balance features, performance, power, and area to create a solution with high value and optimal use of development and physical resources
  • Work with the performance modeling team to evaluate critical metrics such as bandwidth and latency to ensure the interconnect is optimized for the target workloads
  • Use data-based analysis to study trade-offs that include protocol efficiency, bandwidth, protocol efficiency, and software usage models to inform or make critical product and IP decisions
  • Create and maintain clear, detailed, and comprehensive product architecture specs, including performance targets
  • Create and maintain configuration and programming guides as a reference for design integration and FW teams
  • Drive performance correlation of models using post-silicon measurement data or pre-silicon simulation results
  • Help to define design (DV) and performance (PV) verification plans
About You
  • BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science and 12 years of experience; or MS degree and 8 years of experience; or PhD degree and 5 years of experience
  • Experience architecting and/or designing high-performance, high-bandwidth device interconnects, along with modern methods of device abstraction and security (SR-IOV, RCiEP)
  • Deep understanding of memory usage protocols; knowledge of modern memory models
  • Experience with cache architecture and/or design
  • Deep understanding of software usage models for adaptive learning models
  • Understanding of ordering, in-out dependencies, and deadlocks
  • Understanding of pipelines, dependencies, parallelism, ordering, and deadlocks
  • Experience with chiplet-based SoC architecture including AI accelerators or GPU architectures
  • Knowledge and understanding of PCIe and CXL with experience with Linux architecture from a device viewpoint
  • Ability to learn and adapt, one of the foundational principles of Ampere
  • Must be self-driven, curious, organized and comfortable with ambiguity
  • Great communication skills, comfortable with reaching out and asking questions, and brainstorming with peers - working at Ampere is very much a team sport
