System Architect: Memory & SoC Performance Modeling

Micron Technology; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 146,000 - 286,000; Full time

Job summary

Micron Technology is seeking a System Architect to lead performance modeling and analysis of next‑generation memory architectures for AI, server, data center, and mobile platforms. You will build timing‑approximate and cycle‑accurate models and translate results into architecture guidance that informs product direction.

You'll collaborate with internal teams and external customers across the full modeling lifecycle, from component to system‑level benchmarking, to optimize microarchitecture

Qualifications

• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in system architecture, performance modeling, computer architecture, SoC design, or memory systems.
• Demonstrated experience developing cycle‑accurate models for interconnects and memory controllers in large SoC projects.
• Strong knowledge of hardware systems modeling, including modeling languages and simulation environments.
• Proficiency with programming and scripting languages such as C++ or Python.

Responsibilities

• Develop, calibrate, and maintain timing‑approximate and cycle‑accurate models of memory devices, controllers, interconnects, processors, and SoC subsystems.
• Perform component‑ and system‑level performance analysis, benchmarking, and characterization across AI, server, and mobile workloads.
• Select simulation tools and environments, generate or acquire representative workloads, and build performance monitoring for metrics such as latency, bandwidth, energy, and cycle‑level statistics.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and external customers to optimize architectures and provide data‑driven guidance on microarchitecture tradeoffs.
• Integrate and document models into larger SoC‑ and platform‑level performance frameworks, identifying bottlenecks and recommending corrective actions.
