We are hiring talented engineers for CPU RTL development targeted for high performance, low power devices.
In this role, you will work with chip architects to conceive of the micro-architecture, and also help with architecture/product definition through early involvement in the product life-cycle.
As an RTL engineer you will own or participate in the following:
● Performance exploration. Explore high performance strategies working with the CPU modeling team.
● Microarchitecture 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.
● Functional verification support. Help the design verification team execute on the functional verification strategy.
● Performance verification support. Help verify that the RTL design meets the performance goals.
● Design delivery. Work with multi-functional engineering team to implement and validate physical design on the aspects of timing, area, reliability, testability and power.
Skillset looking for:
● Thorough knowledge of microprocessor architecture including expertise in one or more of the following areas: instruction fetch and decode, branch prediction, instruction scheduling and register renaming, out-of-order execution, integer and floating point execution, load/store execution, prefetching, cache and memory subsystems.
● Knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL. Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools.
● Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implications.
