- Proven ability to translate abstract architectural ideas into prototypes, benchmarks, or validated concepts.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex ideas across disciplines.
- Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now and in the future.
- Individuals with temporary visas such as E, F-1 (including those with OPT or CPT), H-1, H-2, L-1, B, J or TN, or who need sponsorship for work authorization now or in the future, are not eligible for hire.
- 15+ years of experience in system, platform, or compute architecture.
- Experience in test and measurement, instrumentation, RF systems, signal processing, or high‑performance data acquisition.
- Background in real‑time systems, deterministic latency, or safety‑critical architectures.
- Familiarity with FPGA toolchains, high‑level synthesis, or heterogeneous runtime environments.
- Exposure to custom silicon, chiplet‑based systems, or advanced packaging.
