Principal Solutions Architect - High-Tech, Electronics & Semiconductor, Hi-Tech Electronics and Semiconductor
Originally posted 24 September 2026 by the employer.
This role focuses on Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Generative AI.
About the role
This role serves as the senior technical leader for a portfolio of AWS's largest and most strategic semiconductor customers, operating at the intersection of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Generative AI.
What you'll do
- Own the senior technical relationship for semiconductor accounts, translating business objectives into AWS architectures.
- Lead high-stakes technical engagements from discovery through production, focusing on customer business outcomes.
- Architect and optimize large-scale EDA workloads on AWS, including front-end and back-end flows.
- Guide customers on HPC design, elastic compute, high-performance shared storage, scheduler integration, and license optimization for EDA tools.
- Help semiconductor customers apply Generative AI to their business, from design assistants to manufacturing analytics.
- Architect production GenAI solutions on Amazon Bedrock, agentic patterns, model customization, and RAG over proprietary design data.
What you'll need
- Experience translating customer business objectives (faster tape-outs, reduced design cycle time, cost-per-wafer efficiency, time-to-market) into AWS architectures and adoption plans.
- Expertise in architecting and optimizing large-scale EDA workloads on AWS, including front-end (logic/RTL simulation, synthesis, verification) and back-end (place-and-route, physical verification, timing/signoff) flows.
- Proficiency with high-throughput HPC design, elastic compute (Spot/On-Demand fleets), high-performance shared storage (FSx for Lustre, NFS appliances), scheduler integration (LSF, Slurm), and license optimization for EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA).
- Experience helping semiconductor customers apply Generative AI to their business, including design assistants, RTL/verification copilots, and knowledge-mining.
- Ability to architect production GenAI solutions on Amazon Bedrock, agentic patterns (AgentCore), model customization, RAG over proprietary design data, and responsible-AI guardrails.
- Experience creating reusable assets: reference architectures, whitepapers, workshops, and internal enablement.
