Lattice Semiconductor is seeking a Senior Technical Marketing Architect to define and drive next-generation datacenter and AI system architectures. This role blends deep system design expertise with strategic marketing and ecosystem engagement—identifying where Lattice FPGAs add value in control, orchestration, and security across compute, storage, and networking. The ideal candidate understands hyperscaler hardware, manageability, and rack-scale design, and can spot new sockets where deterministic, low-latency programmable logic outperforms fixed-function devices. 

 

Key Responsibilities

• Architect datacenter control solutions across compute, storage, and network domains, including BMC, RMC, and rack orchestration.

• Identify and define FPGA attach points for telemetry, power/cooling control, fabric management, and secure boot.

• Shape technical marketing strategy for AI and datacenter platforms—developing MRDs, reference architectures, and partner programs.

• Collaborate with SoC, CPU, DPU, and accelerator vendors to co-design FPGA-enhanced system solutions.

• Engage with CSPs, OEMs, and ODMs to translate requirements into FPGA-based proofs of concept.

• Drive technical narratives that showcase Lattice leadership in control, security, and system orchestration.

• Align with product and engineering teams to ensure design integrity, validation, and roadmap coherence.

• Represent Lattice in OCP, DMTF, and related forums to guide standards and influence ecosystem direction.

 

Required Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering.

• 12+ years in datacenter hardware architecture, technical marketing, or system design.

• Expertise in platform manageability and control (BMC, RMC, attestation, telemetry).

• Knowledge of datacenter storage, networking, and power systems (PCIe/CXL, NVMe, Ethernet, cooling).

• Familiarity with LTPI, SPDM, PLDM, and other DMTF and OCP standards.

• Proven ability to translate architectures into strategies and drive ecosystem adoption.

• Experience working with hyperscalers, OEMs, or SoC vendors on validation and deployment.

• Excellent communication and executive presentation skills.

 

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in rack-scale orchestration, AI cluster, or fabric management.

• Knowledge of FPGA/CPLD integration in control, telemetry, or security roles.

• Understanding of AI server architectures, accelerators, and thermal/power management.

• Published contributions to industry standards or specifications.

 

Benefits

The base pay for this role is between $180,000 to $230,000 per year in the Bay Area. Compensation will align with the local markets in other areas. In addition to base salary, we offer an incentive plan bonus and new hire equity for a competitive total compensation package.
