• Develop NOC architecture and topology for the program working with SOC architect, design and layout leads.
• Develop Specifications for the NOC.
• Build /deliver NOC RTL to meet HAS requirements and work with SOC integration team.
• Optimize NOC for PPA for the SOC
• Support validation, debug, layout through the project.
• Identify opportunities to innovate on future NOC solutions.
• Perform performance/watt modeling, estimate gate count, power using SystemC, Simics, NOC studio, Platform Architect, other tools.
• Become domain expert of NOC, consult multiple projects, train other engineers.

Behavioral traits that we are looking for:

• Strong problem solving, debugging, multi-tasking, and brainstorming skills
