Sr. Director, SoC Architecture

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Company Overview</strong></span></p> <p><strong>Ambiq</strong> is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere — powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.</p> <p>Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.</p> <p>Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.</p> <p>We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.</p> <p>At Ambiq, we live by five values: <strong>Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.</strong></p> <p>If that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.</p> <p> </p></div><p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="335" data-end="557">Ambiq is looking for a <strong data-start="358" data-end="400">Senior Director of SOC System Architecture</strong> to help define the next generation of <strong data-start="439" data-end="466">ultra-low-power AI SoCs</strong> powering wearables, intelligent edge devices, IoT, and other battery-constrained products.</p> <p data-start="559" data-end="770">This is a highly influential technical leadership role with broad ownership of SoC architecture—from early product concepts and architectural tradeoffs through implementation, silicon validation, and production.</p> <p data-start="772" data-end="917">You’ll work across Architecture, Advanced Development, Hardware, Software, Marketing, and customer-facing teams to answer a challenging question:</p> <p data-start="919" data-end="1041"><strong data-start="919" data-end="1041">How do we deliver significantly more intelligence and performance at the edge while consuming dramatically less power?</strong></p> <p data-start="1043" data-end="1201">If you’re an experienced SoC architect who wants to stay close to the technology while having a major voice in what gets built next, this is that opportunity.</p> <h2 data-section-id="1wajri6" data-start="1203" data-end="1220">What You’ll Do</h2> <ul data-start="1222" data-end="2352"> <li data-section-id="1dncbw0" data-start="1222" data-end="1340">Lead architecture definition for Ambiq’s next-generation ultra-low-power AI SoCs from <strong data-start="1310" data-end="1340">concept through production</strong></li> <li data-section-id="itejlx" data-start="1341" data-end="1464">Define system architecture across processors, memory, interconnect, clocking, power management, and hardware accelerators</li> <li data-section-id="1cja5qa" data-start="1465" data-end="1569">Drive <strong data-start="1473" data-end="1529">power, performance, area, and system-level tradeoffs</strong> for highly constrained embedded devices</li> <li data-section-id="vg3k9p" data-start="1570" data-end="1677">Develop architecture and microarchitecture specifications, system dataflows, and power/performance models</li> <li data-section-id="1kf5vkn" data-start="1678" data-end="1780">Make key <strong data-start="1689" data-end="1723">hardware/software partitioning</strong> decisions in partnership
