- Explore high-performance strategies working with the CPU modeling team
- Perform Microarchitecture development and specification- from early high-level architectural exploration, through microarchitectural research and arrive at detailed specifications
- Configure Design Features Development, assessment, and refinement of RTL design to target power, performance, area, and timing goals
- Perform Functional verification support and assist in the design verification strategy
- Assist with the verification of RTL design performance goals
- Partner with a multi-functional engineering team to implement and validate physical design aspects of timing, area, reliability, testability, and power
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Thorough knowledge of microprocessor architecture including expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL
- Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools.
- Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implications
- MS degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 10+ years or BS degree with 15+ years of practical experience
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
