Lab Overview:
The Samsung SOC Lab vision provides innovative SoC architecture, bus / memory subsystem, multimedia subsystems and key IP blocks for future Samsung Galaxy products (Smartphones, tablets and future devices). We are defining high performance SoC architectures for various Galaxy device lineups. This lab collaborates with Samsung's strategic SoC partners, Samsung MX headquarters team and key R&D teams around the globe to innovate and reinvent technology that will positively impact millions of people around the world via the Galaxy flagship products.
Position Summary:
We are looking for a System Architect to lead analysis and modelling of existing and new use cases and features on SoC architectures for next generation mobile products. This SOC segment role will be a hands-on technical leader focused on guiding team approach to SOC Use cases performance modeling and simulation. This role will architect, optimize and deliver leading SoCs on the Galaxy platform powering smartphones, tablets, wearables and technology beyond.
Position Responsibilities:
- Technical leadership in development of architecture and attributes for SoCs to realize new features whilst improving on performance, power and area on various targeted workloads in next generation SoCs
- Collaborate across teams to bring new architectural proposals to fruition across the SOC, Driver, OS, System through detailed documentation & modeling and communicate the results across related engineering audiences (SW, HW, Architecture, Leadership)
- Drive and derive the ingredients to compose a use case decomposition document for SoCs in new and existing markets
- Perform use case modeling, workload analysis and simulation of SoC features for specified applications, benchmarks and complex uses cases
- Collaborate and orchestrate performance modeling studies to support inclusion of SoC features in the next generation SoC architecture based on performance, area or power improvement
- Drive workload characterization followed by triage [decompose captured traces to target IPs and correlation] for usecases in a laboratory setup
- Deliver use case decomposition and specifications to the design team and articulate them effectively across audiences ranging from hardware & software engineers to architecture community peers, and to technology leadership
- Collaborate with silicon bring-up and product teams to verify and debug use case issues and its power and performance
Required Skills:
- BSc, Masters or PhD in Computer Science/Engineering, or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience
- 15+ years of experience in System design and architecture
- Prior direct experience (> 7 years) in System architecture of consumer products, AR/VR experience is preferred
- High proficiency in system architecture, performance modeling ranging from simple analytical models to complex accurate model and correlation
- Working knowledge of System/SoC Architecture, modeling and analysis tools
- Ability to leverage existing simulation capabilities [GEM5, FastSIM, Platform Architect] or create new simulation capabilities when necessary
- Leadership across hardware, software, and platform groups to align all parties to a common vision
