TL;DR · CPU Power Management Microarchitect/RTL Engineer

The CPU Power Management Microarchitect/RTL Engineer joins the Silicon Engineering Group to develop and refine high-performance, low-power microprocessors. This role involves owning micro-architecture development from early exploration through detailed specification, while managing RTL design to meet specific power, performance, area, and timing goals. The engineer will collaborate with multi-functional teams on verification support, including test bench development and formal methods, as well as perform performance exploration and correlation. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Verilog or VHDL, experience with simulators and waveform debugging, and knowledge of microprocessor architecture and logic design principles. Preferred skills include expertise in dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, thermal management, and power integrity strategies, alongside programming experience in C, C++, Perl, or Python to address complex challenges in CPU microarchitecture and power management solutions.

What you'll do

  • Develop and specify micro-architecture from high-level exploration through detailed technical specifications.
  • Design, assess, and refine RTL to meet specific power, performance, area, and timing goals.
  • Support the verification team with test bench development, formal methods, and simulation/emulation.
  • Explore high-performance strategies and correlate results with performance verification teams.
  • Implement physical design aspects including timing, area, reliability, testability, and power.
  • Develop advanced thermal, energy management, and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling solutions.
  • Implement micro-architecture strategies for improved power integrity and Di/dt mitigation.
  • Manage complex systems such as reset control, error handling, and asynchronous clock crossing.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience with microprocessor architecture.
  • Experience with logic design principles involving timing and power implications.
  • Experience in Verilog or VHDL.
  • Experience with simulators and the waveform debugging process.
  • Expertise in advanced power management, thermal/energy management, or clocking solutions (preferred).
  • Understanding of low power and high-performance microarchitecture techniques (preferred).
  • Experience in C, C++, Perl, or Python (preferred).
