Job
Description
Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering General Summary: 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 areasActive power management (DVFS) , Idle power management , Limit management (TDP, Thermal and Over-current protection), Clock management, Debug and Trace architecture. — Knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL. Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools. — Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implications. Additional Additional MS degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering. — Understanding of low power microarchitecture techniques. — Understanding of high performance techniques and trade-offs in a CPU microarchitecture. — Experience using a scripting language such as Perl or Python. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
