TL;DR · CPU Technology Feasibility Implementation Engineer

The CPU Technology Feasibility Implementation Engineer joins the Silicon Engineering Group to conduct technology evaluation during the early design phase of processor development. This role focuses on evaluating new process technologies and identifying ways to maximize power, performance, and area benefits. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting experiments and analysis on physical design, driving RTL-to-GDS flows through synthesis and place-and-route for technology evaluation, and collaborating with multi-functional teams to resolve technical issues. The candidate must possess expertise in synthesis, PnR, clock flow, and PPA optimizations while demonstrating a deep understanding of CPU microarchitecture, including critical loops for timing and low power implementation techniques. This role addresses the specific challenge of evaluating process technology trends and performing physical design experiments to achieve high performance targets within complex CPU designs using advanced manufacturing processes.

What you'll do

  • Conduct experiments and analysis on process technology during the early design phase of CPUs.
  • Drive RTL-to-GDS flows through synthesis and place-and-route for technology evaluation.
  • Analyze physical design results to identify improvements for performance, power, and area (PPA).
  • Evaluate new process technologies and analyze PPA trends.
  • Perform various physical design experiments to achieve high targets for performance, power, and area.
  • Identify improvement areas across library design, memory design, tools, and methodology.
  • Resolve technology-related issues by coordinating with multi-functional engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience with synthesis, PnR, 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 critical loops and low power implementation techniques (preferred).
  • Understanding of static timing and critical path closure techniques (preferred).
