The CPU System and Compute Die Architect joins the CPU Engineering team to lead the micro-architecture and design of high-performance CPU systems. This role involves collaborating with architects and software teams to define product requirements and develop specifications that translate to RTL design. Key responsibilities include managing interconnect protocols, timer synchronization, interrupt controllers, and configuration access protocols. The architect must address complexities in multi-die systems, including Die-to-Die channels, while ensuring robust RAS, safety mechanisms, and debug trace architectures. Required expertise includes microprocessor architecture, power and performance telemetry, and logic design principles regarding timing and power implications. The position focuses on developing server-class high-performance solutions optimized for server products, balancing high-performance strategies with low-power micro-architecture techniques across datacenter, mobile, and automotive SoC segments.
