TL;DR · Interconnect Micro-architect/RTL Design Engineer

As an Interconnect Micro-architect/RTL Design Engineer on the Infinity Fabric Architecture and RTL team, you will develop the next generation of coherent interconnects to provide connectivity between CPUs, GPUs, and special purpose accelerators. Your daily responsibilities include early architectural and performance exploration through micro-architectural definition, optimizing designs for power, performance, area, and timing, and writing synthesizable Verilog RTL. You will also perform unit level testing, create assertions for coverage analysis, produce block level documentation, and participate in post-silicon functional and performance debugging. The role requires expertise in Verilog, SystemVerilog, C, C++, and scripting languages like Perl or Python. You must possess a strong understanding of digital electronics, high-speed designs, multi-processor coherency, memory ordering, and cache systems while addressing complex interconnect challenges across diverse markets including servers, high-performance computing, and machine intelligence.

What you'll do

  • Perform early architectural and performance exploration through micro-architectural definition and design.
  • Optimize designs to meet specific power, performance, area, and timing requirements.
  • Write readable and synthesizable Verilog RTL code for coherent interconnects.
  • Conduct unit level testing to deliver high-quality code to the Design Verification Team.
  • Create assertions to improve coverage and analyze design coverage points.
  • Produce well-written block level design documentation.
  • Participate in post-silicon functional and performance debug and tuning.

What we're looking for

  • Experience as an RTL design engineer with strong communication and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to write readable, synthesizable Verilog RTL and create block-level documentation.
  • Capability to perform architectural exploration, optimization for PPA (power, performance, area), and post-silicon debugging.
  • Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, or equivalent practical experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (preferred).
  • Proven experience designing logic blocks in CPU, GPU, NOC, or cache designs (preferred).
  • Excellent knowledge of Verilog and System Verilog (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of C, C++, and scripting languages like Perl or Python (preferred).
  • Understanding of digital electronics, high-speed designs, multi-processor coherency, and memory ordering (preferred).
