About the Job

Requirements

Experience owning specifications and driving implementation for at least one SoC or die.
Deep understanding of architecture, microarchitecture, and physical design, and ability to coordinate with groups to drive SoC implementation.
Understanding of SoC interactions with packages, memory subsystems, and input/output, and ability to work with teams responsible for those blocks.

Responsibilities

Own the detailed SoC-level architecture of dies on the A-0 and A-1 wafer-scale systems.
Work with the architecture and ASIC design teams to create implementable specifications and drive execution of those implementations.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with multi-die, multi-chiplet, or multi-chip module designs.
Experience with reticle-max or large-die SoC architecture.
Understanding of levers available for improving power, performance, and area.
Track record of very high-speed A0 silicon delivery.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for SoC architects to own the detailed SoC-level architecture of dies on the A-0 and A-1 wafer-scale systems. You will work with the architecture and ASIC design teams to create implementable specs and drive the execution of said implementations.

Ideal Background:

An ideal candidate will have:

Experience with full ownership of the specs and drove implementation for at least one SoC/die
A deep understanding of the process of architecture, microarchitecture and physical design and the ability to coordinate with various groups to drive implementation of SoCs
Understanding of SoC interactions with packages, memory subsystems and IO, and ability to work with teams who are responsible for said interacting blocks

Nice to Have:

Experience with multi-die/multi-chiplet/MCM designs
Experience with reticle-max/large-die SoC architecture
Understanding of levers available for improving PPA
Track record of very high speed A0 silicon delivery

About the Company

Volantis Semiconductor

Designs photonic AI compute hardware

Volantis Semiconductor designs photonic computing hardware for AI workloads, centered on the Volantis Photonic Motherboard. Its technology directly modulates low-cost VCSELs and densely parallel optical waveguides directly on the chip to replace electrical interconnects, enabling a chip-scale package with massive bandwidth and energy efficiency. This approach differs from traditional silicon photonics by wafer-scale integration and laser-based optics, focusing on scalable interconnect bandwidth and compute efficiency rather than simply adding more silicon cores. The company aims to deliver faster, cheaper AI compute with reduced energy use, with pre-orders expected in early 2026 as it engages early customers.
