Cadence delivers remote patient monitoring and chronic disease management that improves outcomes and reduces cost at scale. Intelligent senior care that works better by working ahead. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
The Cadence SSG Central Applications Engineering team is seeking a Systems Solutions Architect and Technical Lead to define compute-centric solutions for Physical AI. In this role, your primary responsibility is to define SoC subsystems for AI applications using Cadence DSPs, CPUs, NPUs, and accelerators. You will analyze the requirements of Edge AI and Physical AI applications, and optimize subsystems for power, performance, area, and software flexibility. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 12+ years in a leading architectural or system engineering role, with a demonstrable history of architecting complex systems from concept through to production
- Proven track record of designing integrated solutions where hardware features are explicitly built to support software mechanics, and vice versa
- Experience collaborating with, or leading performance modeling teams using SystemC, TLM, or custom cycle-accurate simulator infrastructures
- Experience in Physical AI (robotics, autonomous systems) delivering real-time Imaging and/or Radar (spatial awareness, tracking) and Advanced Audio processing
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to travel up to 10% of the time, including internationally

You will analyze the requirements of Edge AI and Physical AI applications, and optimize subsystems for power, performance, area, and software flexibility. Additionally, you will define the SoC integration and software runtime requirements for these subsystems from the perspective of boot/control, runtime data flows, security, and safety.
In this role, you will set the technical vision and architecture for the subsystems, partnering closely with hardware implementation, software engineering, and performance modeling teams. Leveraging Cadence’s Silicon Solutions Group (SSG) IP portfolio, you will implement Physical AI, Computer Vision, and Audio algorithms into deployed, real-world systems.
