This is not a role about drawing abstract boxes on slides -- it is about making real, data-driven architecture decisions early in the SoC and IP design cycle by writing code, building virtual platforms, and validating system designs before silicon exists. You will work hand-in-hand with a hardware architect counterpart from day one. Your mandate is to ensure that every major design decision -- from IP block selection to data flow topology to accelerator sizing -- accounts for the software developer experience, real-world performance, and customer usability. The systems we build ultimately ship to customers whose engineers interact with them through software. You will be the voice of those customers during architecture definition, ensuring that the products we deliver are not only high-performing but also debuggable, straightforward to integrate, have efficient hardware/software interfaces, and have adopted the right ISAs, configurations, and memory sizes. **Key Responsibilities** * **Hardware/Software Tradeoff Analysis:** Drive the right bala
