(US) Santa Clara CA , Austin TX, Portland OR, Fort Collins CO
Engineering – Silicon Engineering /
Full-time /
Hybrid
Positions are open for full-time in the areas of CPU microarchitecture and logic design, in the areas of memory management, load/store pipeline, cache, power management, debug features, and bus interface designs. We are looking for junior to mid-level of talent, from new college grads to about ten years of experience.
Responsibilities
- Microarchitecture development and specification - from early high-level architectural exploration through micro architectural research and arriving at a detailed specification
- Development, assessment, and refinement of RTL design to target power, performance, area, and timing goals
- Validation - support test bench development and simulation for functional and performance verification
- Performance exploration and correlation - explore high performance strategies and validate that the RTL design meets targeted performance
- Design delivery - work with multi-functional engineering team to implement and validate physical design on the aspects of timing, area, reliability, testability and power
Requirements
- Thorough knowledge of microprocessor architecture and microarchitecture in one or more of the following areas: memory management, load/store execution, cache and memory subsystems, bus interface, debug features, and power management
- Knowledge of System Verilog
- Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools
- Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implications
- Understanding of low power microarchitecture techniques
- Understanding of high performance techniques and trade-offs in a CPU microarchitecture
- Experience in C or C++ programming
- Experience using an interpretive language such as Perl or Python
Education and Experience
- PhD, Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in technical subject area.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
