About the Role
Lead the conception, prototyping, and evaluation of heterogeneous computing architectures for next-generation test and measurement systems. This role explores how emerging compute paradigms can improve performance, latency, determinism, scalability, and energy efficiency in advanced measurement platforms.
Responsibilities
- Develop and evaluate novel heterogeneous compute architectures for advanced test and measurement systems.
- Explore architectural tradeoffs across CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, NPUs, and custom accelerators.
- Translate emerging compute and system technologies into actionable architectural concepts and prototypes.
- Lead cross-layer co-design across hardware, firmware, bus architectures, runtime, operating systems, drivers, and application software.
- Define partitioning strategies between host, accelerator, and real-time domains.
- Influence software abstractions, APIs, and programmability models for scalable heterogeneous systems.
- Build and validate architectural concepts using modeling, simulation, and hands-on prototyping.
- Evaluate performance, power, cost, and scalability through benchmarks, proof-of-concepts, and silicon/software experiments.
- Partner with internal labs or external ecosystems to validate feasibility and readiness.
- Contribute to CTO-level technology roadmaps and long-range research initiatives.
- Track and assess industry, academic, and open-source developments in heterogeneous computing, accelerators, and system architecture.
- Communicate architectural insights clearly to both technical and executive audiences.
- Work closely with product engineering, R&D, silicon, software, and platform teams to influence future products.
- Mentor engineers and architects, raising architectural rigor and system-level thinking across the organization.
Requirements
- BS degree (MS or PhD preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- 10+ years of professional experience in system, platform, compute architecture or equivalent.
- Deep understanding of heterogeneous computing systems, including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, hardware accelerators, memory systems, cache coherence, high-speed busses and interconnects, and real-time and high-throughput processing constraints.
- Experience with HW/SW co-design, including performance modeling and architectural trade studies.
- Strong programming experience in one or more of: C/C++, Python, CUDA, OpenCL, SYCL, or HDL (Verilog/VHDL).
- Proven ability to translate abstract architectural ideas into prototypes, benchmarks, or validated concepts.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- 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.
