Common Search & ComparisonSenior Architecture ResearchArchitecture Researcher

Senior Architecture Research professionals typically have more experience, lead projects, and contribute to strategic design initiatives. Architecture Researchers are often entry to mid-level roles focused on conducting research, data analysis, and supporting design development. Both roles require a background in architecture or related fields, but senior roles involve greater responsibility and leadership.

Job description

Job Summary:
Samsung Semiconductor is a global leader in technology solutions, seeking a Senior Director for their Architecture Research Lab. The role involves leading research on next-generation AI system architectures, focusing on system-level modeling and high-performance processors to address challenges in AI workloads.
Responsibilities:
• Define system‑level architectures that solve memory‑capacity, bandwidth, and interconnect challenges for large AI workloads (e.g., large language models, recommendation systems).
• Build and maintain analytical and event‑driven simulation frameworks for compute‑memory‑network performance at rack scale.
• Conduct design‑space exploration and quantitative trade‑off studies (performance, power, cost) to guide architecture decisions.
• Partner with SAIT HQ teams to align modeling insights with real‑world AI system implementations.
• Architect high‑performance, out‑of‑order RISC‑V CPU cores that serve as host processors for AI computing systems.
• Drive IPC‑focused feature path‑finding; lead micro‑architecture research through performance‑model simulation and workload analysis.
• Produce detailed micro‑architecture specifications and guide cache/memory hierarchy design for optimal AI workload execution.
• Lead a multidisciplinary research team, set technical roadmaps, and ensure delivery of high‑impact publications.
• Present architectural insights and strategic recommendations to senior leadership and external partners.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: 10 + years in system‑level architecture research or large‑scale computing platform design, with a strong focus on AI workloads.
• Technical Expertise: Performance modeling, event‑driven simulation, and quantitative analysis of compute‑memory‑interconnect systems.
• Deep knowledge of modern CPU/accelerator architectures (RISC‑V, ARM, x86) and heterogeneous integration.
• Proven ability to design rack‑scale AI system architectures that address memory, bandwidth, and interconnect constraints.
• Proficiency with transaction‑level modeling (TLM) and event‑driven simulation for compute‑memory‑network co‑design.
• Experience in large‑scale design‑space exploration and PPA (performance, power, area/cost) trade‑off analysis.
• Expertise in architecture and micro‑architecture design of out‑of‑order CPUs.
• Hands‑on experience with simulation tools and programming languages such as Python and C++.
• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication; proven ability to deliver technical presentations to senior stakeholders.
Preferred:
• Proven track record of publishing high‑impact research papers.
• Experience influencing product roadmaps through architectural recommendations.
• Strong collaborative history with cross‑functional teams (hardware, software, memory technology).
• You’re inclusive, adapting your style to the situation and diverse global norms of our people.
• An avid learner, you approach challenges with curiosity and resilience, seeking data to help build understanding.
• You’re collaborative, building relationships, humbly offering support and openly welcoming approaches.
• Innovative and creative, you proactively explore new ideas and adapt quickly to change.
Company:
Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. (SSI) is a multi-billion dollar wide range of industry-leading semiconductor solutions. Founded in 1974, the company is headquartered in San Jose, USA, with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
