The CPU Server Physical Design Clock Engineer joins the CPU Engineering group to develop best in class clocking solutions for next generation CPUs. This role involves collaborating with microarchitecture, RTL design, CAD, and block level teams to implement and validate CPU clocking. Key responsibilities include driving clock generation and distribution methodology, optimizing for low skew and low power, and performing jitter analysis and measurements. The engineer will work on clock H-tree, mesh, spines, and CTS implementations while providing feedback on key fixes for top level physical design. Required skills include experience in construction and analysis of clock distribution, understanding of device physics, RC delay, and electrical aspects, and proficiency in SPICE simulation. The role addresses technical challenges in deep submicron process technology nodes and standard cell optimizations.
