The RISCV CPU System RTL Engineer joins the CPU Engineering team to develop high-performance, low-power devices. In this role, you will contribute to architecture and product definition while taking responsibility for microarchitecture and RTL execution of critical system features. Your daily work involves developing specifications for timer and interrupt architectures, power management strategies, and debug and trace mechanisms. You will explore performance and power optimization opportunities, refine RTL to meet area and timing goals, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate physical design aspects. The role requires proficiency in Verilog or VHDL, experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools, and knowledge of scripting languages like Perl or Python. You will solve complex technical challenges regarding RISCV CPU system features, including configuration access protocols, RAS safety mechanisms, and active/idle power strategies for high-performance systems.
