Responsibilities: • Architect, design and implement new features, performance improvements, and ISA extensions in RISC-V CPU core generators. • Microarchitecture development and specification. Ensure that knowledge is shared via great documentation and participation in a culture of collaborative design. • Perform initial sandbox verification, and work with design verification team to create and execute thorough verification test plans. • Work with physical implementation team to implement and optimize physical design to meet frequency, area, power goals. • Collaborate with performance modelling team for performance exploration and optimization to meet performance goals.
Requirements:
• 8+ yrs of recent industry experience in high-performance, energy-efficient CPU designs. • Expertise in CPU processor designs in one or more of the following areas: instruction fetch and decode; branch prediction; register renaming and instruction scheduling; scalar and/or vector execution units; load-store unit; cache and memory subsystems. • Knowledge of RISC-V architecture is a plus. • Proficiency with hardware (RTL) design in Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL. • Experience with Scala and/or Chisel is a plus. • Attention to detail and a focus on high-quality design. • Ability to work well with others and a belief that engineering is a team sport. • Knowledge of at least one object-oriented and/or functional programming language. • Background of successful CPU development from architecture through tapeout.
• MS/ PhD degree in EE, CE, CS or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
