As a CPU Server Physical Design Methodology, Infrastructure and Automation Engineer, you will join the CPU Engineering team to lead critical design efforts for multi-core CPU operations. You will be responsible for developing and verifying high-performance, low-power CPU designs while solving complex problems related to design completeness, functionality, power, and performance. Your daily work involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to define requirements and trade-offs from conceptualization through post-silicon validation. You will also author detailed technical documentation for complex architectures. To succeed, you must possess expertise in computer architecture, micro-architecture, logic design, and circuits. The role requires proficiency in high-level programming languages like C and C++, scripting languages such as Python or Perl, and industry-standard tools for synthesis, place, route, and design verification, alongside experience with Verilog and VHDL for waveform debugging.
Develop and verify high-performance, low-power CPU designs using advanced knowledge of computer architecture and logic design.
Solve complex problems regarding design completeness, functionality, power, and performance for multi-core CPU operations.
Define requirements, specifications, and trade-offs such as performance, power, and cost with cross-functional teams.
Manage the entire design process from initial conceptualization and feasibility to pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation.
Create detailed technical documentation including feature descriptions, architectural plans, and verification test plans for complex designs.
Provide supervision and guidance to other team members while working independently on high-priority tasks.
Communicate complex information and negotiate with stakeholders to influence key organizational decisions.
