Staff Analog AI Compute Architect

Role Summary

We are building a pioneering organization focused on advancing the next generation of Edge AI compute and intelligent sensors. We are seeking a Staff level AI Compute Architect who will play a critical role in leading the architectural definition and early integration planning of disruptive µAI compute blocks (analog, neuromorphic, in-memory) into future ADI SoCs. You will benchmark and develop new state-of-the-art compute architectures for edge devices, translate advanced Edge AI functionality into analog, SNN, and heterogeneous compute designs, and implement detailed compute modeling in Python and SystemC to extract key performance indicators that guide architectural decisions. You will also support early RTL and analog prototyping of internal and third-party IPs, and define robust IP interface specifications while working closely with analog and digital design teams to deliver industry-leading edge performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a technical lead and a mentor in HW AI compute and heterogeneous architectures
• Accountable for driving SOTA advanced AI compute research and recommend ADI’s next generation heterogeneous architecture
• Drive cross-organization research and lead benchmarking of new state-of-the-art compute architectures specifically designed for efficient Edge AI deployment.
• Translate advanced Edge AI intelligent functionality into µAI, analog, SNN, and heterogeneous compute architectures that deliver state-of-the-art performance on edge platforms.
• Develop and implement compute modeling frameworks in Python and SystemC to extract critical KPIs such as latency, power, throughput, and memory utilization.
• Support early RTL and analog prototyping of both internal and third-party IP blocks.
• Define detailed IP interface specifications (e.g., AXI, NoC, DMA, memory subsystems) to ensure seamless integration across analog and digital design domains.
• Coordinate closely with analog and digital design teams to validate architectural assumptions and interface requirements.
• Contribute to the technical roadmap for next-generation Edge AI compute solutions and provide architectural guidance across cross-functional teams.
