Samsung Research America is hiring a
Lead System Architect – Usecase Decomposition

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 the high performance SoC architecture development for various Galaxy device lineups. This lab collaborates with Samsung's strategic SoC partners, Samsung MX headquarter 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 Lead System Architect to build a team and execute analysis and modelling of existing and new use cases on SoC architectures and features for next generation mobile products. This SOC segment role will be a hands-on 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:

• Build a team of architects while guiding on development of architecture and performance model for SoC to help optimize performance, power and area on various targeted workloads in next generation SoCs.
• Deliver “use case decomposition” document for SoCs in new and existing markets.
• Evaluate architecture proposal in collaboration with team of SoC Architects and communicate the results across related engineering audiences (SW, HW, Architecture, Leadership).
• Perform use case modeling, simulation and analysis of SoCs features for specified applications, benchmarks, and complex uses cases.
• Collaborate and orchestrate performance and studies to support inclusion of SoC features in the next generation SoC architecture based on performance, area or power improvement.
• 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.
• Collaborate across teams to bring new architectural proposals to fruition across the SOC, Driver, OS, System through detailed documentations.

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.
• High proficiency in system architecture modeling, ranging from simple analytical models to complex accurate model and correlation.
• Ability to leverage existing simulation capabilities [GEM5, FastSIM, Platform Architect] or create new simulation capabilities when necessary.
• Working knowledge of SoC Architecture, power modeling and analysis tools.
• Leadership across hardware, software, and platform groups to align all parties to a common vision.
