SoC Architect
Architect dies for A-0 and A-1 wafer-scale systems.
Originally posted August 5, 2026 by the employer.
About the role
Volantis Semiconductor is looking for an SoC Architect to own the detailed SoC-level architecture of dies on the A-0 and A-1 wafer-scale systems. You will collaborate with the architecture and ASIC design teams to develop implementable specifications and drive execution.
What you'll do
- Own the detailed SoC-level architecture of dies on A-0 and A-1 wafer-scale systems.
- Create implementable specifications in collaboration with the architecture and ASIC design teams.
- Drive the execution and implementation of SoC specifications across design teams.
- Coordinate across architecture, microarchitecture, and physical design teams to support SoC implementation.
- Manage SoC interactions with packages, memory subsystems, and IO interfaces.
What you'll need
- Experience holding full ownership of specifications and driving implementation for at least one SoC or die.
- Deep understanding of architecture, microarchitecture, and physical design processes.
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate with cross-functional groups to drive SoC implementation.
- Understanding of SoC interactions with packages, memory subsystems, and IO blocks.
Nice to have
- Experience with multi-die, multi-chiplet, or MCM designs.
- Experience with reticle-max or large-die SoC architecture.
- Understanding of levers available for improving PPA.
- Track record of very high speed A0 silicon delivery.

How we counted: 520 open SoC/Chip Architecture (SOC Architecture) roles from 70 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
