Job summary

MediaTek is seeking a seasoned Datacenter Compute SoC Architect to define and optimize next‑generation datacenter processors. You will balance power, performance, and area while meeting cloud-scale workloads, working with CPU cores, IPs, and performance teams.

You will lead RTL and silicon bring-up, collaborating with firmware, software, and packaging teams to deliver scalable DC silicon for AI infrastructure.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 10+ years of proven industry experience in SoC/Compute/CPU architecture.
• 3+ years focusing on high-performance server/datacenter or network processor SoCs.
• Deep understanding of CPU architectures (ARM/x86/RISC-V) and Compute architectures.
• Extensive knowledge of coherent fabrics and interconnects (CHI/AXI/NoCs).
• Strong memory hierarchy, cache coherency, and memory technologies expertise.
• Excellent written and verbal communication for cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead architectural definition of next‑generation datacenter Compute SoCs, including core counts and cache hierarchies.
• Define requirements and drive decisions for IPs (PCIe Gen5/6, CXL, DDR5/HBM, NoC, security enclaves).
• Perform PPA trade-off analysis to meet datacenter efficiency and perf-watt targets.
• Collaborate on multi-die/chiplet packaging with D2D interconnects (UCIe) and thermal solutions.
• Partner with firmware, OS, and cloud software to support hypervisors and cloud-native workloads.
• Work with performance modeling to create C++/SystemC models and analyze simulations.
• Provide technical leadership during RTL, verification, and silicon bring-up phases.
