MemryX Inc. is a semiconductor company developing high-performance, low-power AI accelerators for edge computing. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the company operates engineering branches in Taipei and Hsinchu, Taiwan, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The company's compute-near-memory architecture minimizes data movement and enables massively parallel, scalable on-chip AI inference, with a full hardware-software stack including compiler, runtime, and APIs. MemryX is currently in production with the MX3 AI accelerator and actively developing the next-generation MX4, backed by top-tier venture capital.
The Senior SoC Architect will define and drive system-level architecture for next-generation SoCs for AI and edge-computing applications, bridging the gap between software requirements and hardware implementation. This role translates product and workload requirements into scalable system architectures and guides key technical decisions from early exploration through silicon bring-up, leading cross-functional efforts to deliver high-performance, power-efficient silicon solutions.
Key responsibilities include:
- Define overall SoC architecture, including memory hierarchy, IP selection, high-speed interconnects, coherency, I/O, security, and power-management architectures
- Own SoC architecture specifications and roadmaps; author, review, and maintain comprehensive architectural and micro-architecture documents
- Evaluate architectural tradeoffs, balancing performance, power, area (PPA), cost, and schedule specifically for edge computing workloads
- Analyze target AI workloads and develop performance models to guide architectural decisions and identify bottlenecks across hardware and software
- Partner with RTL, verification, firmware, compiler, and application teams throughout the development lifecycle to translate product requirements into actionable engineering plans
- 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
The role reports to the Senior Director of Engineering and is based in Zhubei, Taiwan, on a full-time basis.
REQUIREMENTS:
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
- 15+ years of industry experience in ASIC/SoC design, with at least 3+ years functioning in a lead architectural capacity
- Proven track record of successfully architecting and taping out complex, high-performance SoCs
- Tech-driven passion for hardware development and deep knowledge of AI architectures
- High adaptability and energy required to thrive in the fast pace and ambiguity of a startup environment
- Open, honest communication skills and a collaborative mindset that thrives on feedback
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Architecture, or a related discipline
- Hands-on experience with performance modeling (e.g., C++, SystemC) and architectural simulation tools
- Familiarity with rapid prototyping methodologies and hardware-software co-design
- Previous experience operating within a true startup mindset, demonstrating a strong desire for continuous learning
- Knowledge of advanced packaging technologies (e.g., chiplets, 2.5D/3D integration)
