As a CPU Architecture Performance Engineer (RISC V) within the CPU Performance Architecture group, you will design high-performance, low-power CPUs by contributing ideas for advanced features and modeling them for productization. You will work with cross-functional teams to identify performance bottlenecks in workloads, perform self-guided simulation studies of design alternatives, and maintain sections of the architectural performance model while assessing implementation costs with RTL teams. The role requires expertise in core areas such as fetch, decode, branch prediction, renaming, execute units, SIMD, load/store, MMU, caches, and retire. You must be proficient in C, C++, and scripting languages like Perl or Python. This position focuses on the technical challenge of optimizing CPU performance and energy efficiency while improving simulation environments to enhance productivity for next-generation compute products.
