The CPU Micro-architect joins the System IP & SoC Architecture team to shape next-generation processors for AI, high-performance computing, and edge devices. This role involves exploring new features and optimizing the microarchitecture of high-performance out-of-order CPU cores to improve IPC, power, and area efficiency. Key responsibilities include modeling core pipelines, branch prediction, prefetching, and cache/TLB hierarchies, as well as correlating simulation results against silicon measurement data. The candidate will develop performance models and micro testbenches to identify bottlenecks and explore ISA extensions like vector extensions and security enhancements. Required skills include proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, C++, and Python, alongside experience with Armv8/v9, x86, or RISC-V ISAs. The work focuses on delivering scalable, performance-optimized IP solutions for gaming and computational photography.
