Senior Principal IP Design and Microarchitecture Engineer for AI

CPU Micro architect

We are seeking an experienced CPU Micro architect. Responsible for Defining, leading and owning RTL development of a performance efficient, low-power CPU core. The candidate will be responsible for all aspects of the design including Functional Features, Performance, Power, and Area.

You will:

Drive the micro-architecture and design of a critical CPU block or multiple blocks of a CPU core

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:

Hands-on working knowledge of the pipeline stages of an in-order or out-of-order high-performance CPU core

Thorough knowledge of microprocessor architecture including expertise in one or more of the following areas:

Instruction fetch and decode, branch prediction techniques

Instruction scheduling, register renaming, Reorder Buffer (ROB)

Out-of-order execution

Integer and Floating-point execution:

Scalar and Vector instructions:

Load/Store execution

Instruction and Data Prefetch:

Cache and memory subsystems

Knowledge of Cache coherency and memory consistency

Knowledge of System Verilog, Verilog and/or VHDL

Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools.

Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implications

Master’s with 8-11 years of experience, PhD + 5-7 years of work experience

A plus if you have:

Experience with designing RISC-V, ARM, and/or MIPS CPU

Experience with Hardware multi-threading, virtualization, and SIMD designs

Experience with real-time microcontroller designs

Understanding of high-performance techniques and trade-offs in a CPU microarchitecture

Understanding of low-power microarchitecture techniques

Experience using a scripting language such as Perl or Python

Understanding of CPU integration at SoC level

Understanding of Safety and Security microarchitecture:

and proven technologies, MIPS can accelerate development and deployment of RISC-V based solutions.
