Job description

As a CPU Microarchitect/RTL Engineer, you will own or participate in the following: • Micro-architecture development and specification - from early high-level architectural exploration, through micro-architectural research and arriving at a detailed specification • RTL ownership - development, assessment and refinement of RTL design to target power, performance, area and timing goals • Verification - support the verification team in test bench development, formal methods, and simulation/emulation for functional verification • Performance exploration and correlation - explore high-performance strategies and work with the performance verification team to verify that the RTL design meets targeted performance • Design delivery - work with multi-functional engineering team to implement and verify physical design on the aspects of timing, area, reliability, testability and power Minimum BS Expertise in one or more of the following areas: out-of-order execution, instruction scheduling, integer and floating point execution, load/store execution, cache and memory subsystems 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 Experience with microprocessor architecture Experience with logic design principles with timing and power implications Experience in Verilog or VHDL Experience with simulators and waveform debugging process
