Cache Coherency Architect

Arteris IP is seeking a highly skilled Cache Coherency Architect to join our team. As a key member of our SoC design team, you will be responsible for defining and optimizing cache coherency solutions within our advanced IP portfolio.

Your primary focus will be on developing cutting-edge cache coherent interconnect IP and ensuring seamless integration with other NoC interconnects, and system IP to support efficient and coherent communication between multiple processor and accelerator cores and functional units.

You will collaborate closely with hardware designers, verification engineers, software developers, and other stakeholders to create high-performance, power-efficient, and reliable NoC IP solutions.

• Evaluate existing, industry standard, cache coherency protocols, maintain and improve our proprietary coherency protocol which is used within Arteris' highly configurable NoC IP
• Develop comprehensive and scalable cache coherency architectures that align with the overall System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design
• Analyze our customer's requirements for cache coherent system architectures, also considering partitioning large designs into chiplets using die-to-die and chip-to-chip architectures based on industry wide standards like CXL, UCIe and PCIe
• Set performance goals (PPA) for the configurable IP

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Proven experience as a Cache Coherency Architect, Design Engineer, or similar role with a focus on NoC IP development
• In-depth knowledge of SoC and NoC architecture, cache coherency protocols, and memory hierarchy
• Strong understanding of cache hierarchies and their interaction with NoC interconnects
• Experience in cache coherency verification and validation techniques
• Familiarity with hardware description languages (HDLs) and SoC design tools
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a strategic mindset
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders
