TL;DR · Senior Logic Design Engineer, Cache Coherent Interconnects

As a Senior Logic Design Engineer, Cache Coherent Interconnects, you will join the CPU Logic Design Team to design on-chip and off-chip interconnect networks, MP coherency, and last-level and system caches. Your daily responsibilities include micro-architectural definition, writing high-performance and low-power RTL, logic debug, synthesis, timing closure, and creating design documentation. You will collaborate with verification teams to ensure unit correctness while working with implementation teams to meet specific area, performance, and power goals. The role requires expertise in Verilog and a deep understanding of the ASIC design flow, including prototyping, DFT, floor-planning, ECO, and lab debug. Candidates should possess a strong background in computer architecture, cache coherency, or high-speed interconnects. This position focuses on solving complex technical challenges within processor and high-performance semiconductor designs for advanced computing platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design on-chip and off-chip interconnect networks, MP coherency, and system caches.
  • Define micro-architectures for specific CPU units.
  • Write high-performance and low-power RTL code.
  • Perform logic synthesis and achieve timing closure for super units.
  • Create comprehensive design documentation for assigned components.
  • Partner with the verification team to ensure unit correctness.
  • Work with implementation teams to meet area, performance, and power goals.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in processor or related high-performance semiconductor designs.
  • Expertise in Verilog and RTL coding for high performance and low power.
  • Deep understanding of ASIC design flow including synthesis, timing analysis, floor-planning, and lab debug.
  • Strong background in computer architecture, cache coherency, or high-speed interconnects.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work within a dynamic, global team.
  • Proven track record of mentoring junior engineers and interns is preferred.
