TL;DR · CPU Implementation Feasibility Engineer

The CPU Implementation Feasibility Engineer joins the Silicon Engineering Group to shape next-generation silicon from early stages. Working closely with microarchitects, you will define the CPU and memory subsystem while performing feasibility experiments for RTL innovations aimed at high performance and low power designs. Your daily responsibilities include making critical area, frequency, performance, and power trade-offs while driving the RTL-to-GDS flow through synthesis and place-and-route. You will collaborate with multi-functional teams to validate physical design aspects like timing, testability, and reliability, alongside conducting floor planning experiments to evaluate microarchitectural feasibility. Required skills include VLSI implementation on high performance designs, CPU microarchitecture knowledge, and experience with static timing analysis, power analysis tools, and logical equivalence checking. This role solves the technical challenge of transforming ambitious microarchitectural ideas into buildable, efficient hardware designs.

What you'll do

  • Perform feasibility experiments for RTL innovations to drive high performance and low power designs.
  • Analyze and manage trade-offs between area, frequency, performance, and power.
  • Drive the RTL-to-GDS flow through synthesis and place-and-route processes.
  • Validate physical design aspects including timing, area, power, testability, and reliability.
  • Conduct floor planning experiments to evaluate microarchitectural feasibility for high performance targets.
  • Define CPU and memory subsystems in collaboration with microarchitects.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience with VLSI implementation on high performance designs.
  • Experience with CPU microarchitecture.
  • Understanding of static timing analysis and power (preferred).
  • Physical Design Fundamentals (preferred).
  • Implementation experience on high performance CPU designs (preferred).
  • Experience with Logical Equivalence checking (LEC) tools (preferred).
  • Experience with Power analysis tools or Static Timing Analysis Tools (preferred).
