Early Career SoC Architect

• A degree (BEng, MEng, MSc or equivalent) in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience
• A solid foundational understanding of SoC or computer architecture, including memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects, and how compute, memory and I/O blocks integrate into a coherent chip, gained through study, projects, internships, or research
• Some exposure to RTL design concepts and how physical design constraints feed back into architectural choices — academic or internship-level experience is fine
• A clear communicator, comfortable working across architecture, modelling, implementation, verification, and software teams, who thrives in ambiguity and fast iteration
• Real hands-on exposure to chip-level or system design, through a final-year project, FPGA build, RISC-V SoC implementation, internship, or research
• Comfort working across disciplines and a track record of thriving in ambiguity and fast iteration

SoC Architecture

Sits within Fractile's hardware organisation, which owns everything from full-chip architecture definition through memory hierarchies, on-chip interconnects, and the path from early architectural exploration through to tapeout and post-silicon validation. Architecture is built in constant collaboration with logical design, physical design, and verification teams.
