CPU Technology Feasibility Engineer

What you'll do

• Conduct experiments and analysis on process technology during the early design phase.
• Drive the RTL-to-GDS flow through synthesis and place-and-route for technology evaluation.
• Analyze physical design results to identify improvements for maximizing PPA benefits.
• Evaluate new process technologies to achieve high targets for performance, power, and area.
• Identify improvements across technology, library/memory design, PD tools, methodology, and RTL.
• Resolve technology-related issues and improve PPA in coordination with multi-functional engineering teams.

What we're looking for

• Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience with synthesis, PnR, and clock flow, and PPA optimizations.
• Implementation experience on high-performance CPU designs (preferred).
• Deep understanding of process technology and its evaluation (preferred).
• Deep understanding of power, performance, and area tradeoffs (preferred).
• Deep knowledge of CPU microarchitecture, including common critical loops and low power implementation techniques (preferred).
• Understanding of static timing and critical path closure techniques (preferred).
