Job Description
MediaTek is seeking a Compute Subsystem Architect to define and build capability in this space ahead of product commitment. The role covers the full Neoverse Compute Subsystem scope: core configuration, CMN topology and parameterization, cache/SLC architecture, and CHI coherency behavior. The role also provides architectural guidance on chiplet and 3D-IC partitioning trade-offs, collaborating with dedicated packaging and interconnect teams on interface definitions.
Responsibilities
- Architect compute subsystems (CPU cluster, L2/L3/SLC cache, coherent mesh fabric) for next-generation ASIC and advanced Arm computing platform products.
Own CMN topology recommendations
- mesh dimension, HN-F/SN-F/RN-F placement, SLC distribution, snoop filter policy, and QoS parameters.
- Build CPU subsystem performance models to quantify many-core scaling: latency, bandwidth-per-core, and mesh congestion under AI-era workload traffic patterns.
Drive technology readiness
- track Arm Neoverse CSS/CMN roadmap, identify IP gaps, and lead technical engagement with Arm on architecture and multi-die scope.
- Evaluate architectural implications of 3D-IC and chiplet splits on CMN topology, CHI credit return, and snoop timing; hand off quantified constraints to packaging and physical teams; co-design while maintaining focus on computing architecture.
- Align design with potential product landing vehicles including custom ASIC solutions and advanced Arm platforms (including future CPU Dielet configurations).
- Prepare architecture specifications and technical documents; present trade-offs to engineering leadership and executives. #LI-WC2
