interconnects jobs in San Diego

This role focuses on developing and validating low-level DDR subsystem firmware and APIs across the entire product lifecycle, from design validation through post-silicon bring-up. Engineers will write C firmware for DDR initialization, training, power management, and performance features, then validate it across simulation, emulation, FPGA, and silicon environments.…See more The position requires strong embedded systems fundamentals, digital design knowledge, and hands-on hardware/software debugging to collect and analyze stability, power, performance, and functional data that inform product decisions. Cross-functional collaboration with design, DV, software, and architecture teams is central to optimizing DDR subsystem capabilities.

Lead system-level validation strategy, planning, and content development for next-generation premium mobile and AI accelerator SoCs across emulation and silicon phases. Own end-to-end validation roadmaps, test coverage plans, and cross-domain content execution while partnering with architecture, design, firmware, and software teams.…See more Manage geographically distributed engineering teams, drive root-cause analysis on critical silicon and software issues, and champion AI/GenAI-driven validation methodologies. Requires 8+ years in SoC validation, strong understanding of modern SoC architectures (CPUs, memory subsystems, interconnects, power management, security), and demonstrated technical leadership.

Senior Staff SoC Systems Performance Engineer responsible for analyzing and defining next-generation system-on-chip architectures across mobile, automotive, and compute products. The role involves conducting performance, power, and thermal analysis; deploying simulators and profilers to identify bottlenecks; and collaborating with hardware, software, and product teams to drive architectural decisions.…See more Requires 5+ years of systems engineering experience with deep knowledge of computer architecture (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, memory hierarchies, cache coherency) and hands-on proficiency with performance modeling tools, SystemC simulators, and profiling methodologies.
