CPU Implementation Engineer
As a CPU Implementation Engineer, you will drive or participate in the following:
• Work with micro-architects to help define the micro-architecture and assist with design feasibility and power, performance, and area (PPA) trade-offs
• Drive RTL-to-GDS design convergence through microarchitecture and logic (RTL) optimizations using synthesis and place-and-route tools targeting ambitious goals for PPA
• Responsible for block-level design delivery along with closure of backend flows, electrical requirements, and improving silicon yield
• Work closely with internal CAD and PD methodology teams on industry-standard synthesis/PNR tool features and optimizations and their adoption in CPU design
• Work with x-functional top-level teams on the aspects of CPU floorplan, timing, power, reliability, and testability
• Work closely with custom IP teams to define and co-optimize memory macros, library standard cells to improve design PPA
Minimum Qualifications
Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
Experience in logic design and digital circuits
Experience with low power and high frequency design techniques
Experience with TCL or Perl
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with high performance CPU microprocessor architecture and memory sub-system
Knowledge in deep sub-micon technology along with its implications to timing, power, and area
Must have proficiency in using industry standard logic Synthesis, PnR, STA and Power analysis tools along with floor-planning, physical design partitioning, and timing budgeting, to converge complex designs
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Ability to work independently and/or lead a physical design partition in collaboration with x-functional teams
