Job description

As a CPU Systems Architecture/RTL Engineer, you will own or contribute to the following:

  • Explore performance and power optimization opportunities in collaboration with the CPU modeling team
  • Develop high-level architecture and microarchitecture specifications that translate into RTL design
  • Own RTL development: assess and refine RTL to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals
  • Support functional verification: assist the design verification team in executing verification strategies
  • Deliver design: collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to validate physical design aspects including timing, area, reliability, testability, and power
  • Work closely with software, firmware, and platform teams to enable CPU system features in products

Requirements

Do you have experience in Technical writing?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Master's degree in computer or electrical engineering with 1-3 years of experience in CPU RTL or a related field

  • Deep knowledge of microprocessor architecture, with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
  • RISCV CPU system features: timer synchronization, interrupt controller, configuration access protocols, RAS and safety mechanisms
  • Architecture and performance monitoring, telemetry architecture
  • Power management: active and idle power strategies, limit and clock architecture
  • Debug/trace architecture, scan-dump, and memory dump mechanisms
  • Strong expertise in power management for high-performance systems, including active power, idle low power, and silicon/system limits
  • Proven experience in defining and developing debug features for high-performance designs
  • Excellent technical documentation skills, along with strong written and verbal communication abilities
  • Proficiency in Verilog and/or VHDL, and experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools
  • Solid understanding of logic design principles, including timing and power implications, * Master's degree in computer or electrical engineering
