As a CPU System and Compute Die Architect within the CPU Engineering team, you will lead the micro-architecture development and design of high-performance CPU systems. You will collaborate with hardware, software, and firmware teams to define product requirements, develop technical specifications for RTL translation, and perform performance explorations. Your daily work involves designing complex features such as interrupt controllers, timer synchronization, address maps, and coherent/non-coherent NoC protocols. You will also focus on RAS, debug, and trace architectures, including scan-dump and memory dump mechanisms. The role requires expertise in multi-die systems, Die-to-Die channels, and power and performance telemetry solutions. Essential skills include a deep understanding of microprocessor architecture, logic design principles, and the ability to navigate the complexities of high-performance, low-power micro-architecture trade-offs for datacenter, mobile, and automotive SoC products.
