CPU Implementation Methodology Engineer

What you'll do

• Develop and validate new flows and methodologies to improve PPA for CPU designs.
• Perform detailed analysis across partitions to identify specific optimization opportunities.
• Collaborate with CAD teams and EDA tool vendors to enhance design flow infrastructure.
• Coordinate with STA, library, and post-silicon teams to optimize implementation results.
• Contribute to the development of Synthesis and Physical Design Implementation methodologies.
• Implement high-performance and low-power CPU designs using SAPR tools.
• Write scripts in Python or TCL to interface with tools and analyze data.
• Develop algorithms and code to extract PPA during the implementation phase.

What we're looking for

• Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience implementing VLSI digital designs using SAPR tools with multi-GHz performance goals.
• Experience with logic optimization trade-offs between area, timing, and power.
• Experience implementing high-performance and low-power CPU designs (preferred).
• Proficiency in programming and scripting, such as Python or TCL (preferred).
• Experience with SAPR/PNR design flow infrastructure and scripts (preferred).
• Understanding of deep sub-micron technology challenges and ability to write algorithms to extract PPA (preferred).
• Strong understanding and experience using industry standard synthesis, PnR, and STA tools (preferred).
