- Drive technical decomposition and allocation of requirements across system boundaries, subsystems, and engineering disciplines.
- Facilitate interface definition, qualification readiness, and technical integration planning across multiple domains.
- Identify and execute architecture studies, simulations, technical investigations, and trade-off evaluations.
- Drive root-cause analysis and mitigate architectural risks, system integration risks, and technical debt.
- Coach engineers on systems thinking, architecture methods, and technical decision-making while contributing to technical communities.
What you'll need
- BS in Engineering or a relevant technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
- Typically 10+ years of experience in complex multidisciplinary system development.
- Background working across multiple subsystems, engineering disciplines, or business lines.
- Proven track record leading technical initiatives across teams and organizational boundaries.
- Strong experience in systems engineering, system architecture, integration, or technical leadership roles.

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.
