Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the company also operates existing engineering branches in Taipei and Hsinchu Taiwan, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.\nOur unique compute-near-memory architecture minimizes data movement and enables massively parallel, scalable on-chip AI inference. We’ve co-designed a full hardware-software stack (compiler, runtime, and APIs) to make AI development both easy and high-performance. Powered by MemryX Compute Engines, our decentralized many-core dataflow design delivers industry-leading throughput and efficiency, ideal for smart edge devices.\nWe are currently in production with our MX3 AI accelerator and actively developing next-generation MX4, backed by top-tier VCs. At MemryX, you’ll join a collaborative, innovation-driven team that empowers you to shape the future of edge AI.\nWho You Are\nCommunicative & Collaborative:You’re open, honest, and thrive on feedback.\nCurious & Innovative:You love brainstorming new ideas and turning them into reality.\nTech-Driven: Passionate about advancing AI and edge computing.\nAdaptable:Energized by the fast pace and ambiguity of a startup environment.\nWhy You’ll Love Working Here:\nHands-On Learning:Structured rotations across hardware and software domains.\nInnovative Culture:Rapid prototyping, continuous learning, and a true startup mindset.\nCareer Path:Clear progression from junior engineer to specialist and beyond.\nGreat Perks:Competitive salary, equity grants, comprehensive health benefits, and more.\n About The Role\nThe Senior SoC Architect will define and drive the system-level architecture for our next- generation SoCs for AI and edge-computing applications. You will turn innovative ideas into reality by bridging the gap between software requirements and hardware implementation. By translating product and workload requirements into scalable system architectures, you will guide key technical decisions from early exploration through silicon bring-up, leading cross-functional efforts to deliver high-performance, power-efficient silicon solutions.\nWhat You'll Do:\nArchitecture Definition: Define the overall SoC architecture, including memory hierarchy, IP selection, high-speed interconnects, coherency, I/O, security, and power- management architectures.\nSpecifications & Roadmaps: Own SoC architecture specifications and roadmaps. Author, review, and maintain comprehensive architectural and micro-architecture documents.\nTrade-off Analysis: Evaluate architectural tradeoffs, balancing performance, power, area (PPA), cost, and schedule specifically for edge computing workloads.\nPerformance Modeling: Analyze target AI workloads, and develop performance models to guide architectural decisions and identify bottlenecks across hardware and software.\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with RTL, verification, firmware, compiler, and application teams throughout the development lifecycle to translate product requirements into actionable engineering plans.\nLifecycle Execution: Lead architecture reviews, document requirements, and ensure alignment between product goals and implementation. Support pre-silicon validation, post-silicon bring-up, performance characterization, and optimization.\nWhat We Expect to See:\nBS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.\n15+ years of industry experience in ASIC/SoC design, with at least 3+ years functioning in a lead architectural capacity.\nProven track record of successfully architecting and taping out complex, high-performance SoCs.\nA tech-driven passion for hardware development and deep knowledge of AI architectures.\nHigh adaptability and the energy required to thrive in the fast pace and ambiguity of a startup environment.\nOpen, honest communication skills and a collaborative mindset that thrives on feedback.\nWhat We Would Be Happy to See:\nPh.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Architecture, or a related discipline.\nHands-on experience with performance modeling (e.g., C++, SystemC) and architectural simulation tools.\nFamiliarity with rapid prototyping methodologies and hardware-software co-design.\nPrevious experience operating within a true startup mindset, demonstrating a strong desire for continuous learning.\nKnowledge of advanced packaging technologies (e.g., chiplets, 2.5D/3D integration).\nReports to: Senior Director of Engineering\nLocation: Ann Arbor, MI\nWork Schedule: Full-time\nWhy Join MemryX?
