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

As a Senior Logic Design Engineer on our CPU Logic Design Team, you will play a pivotal role in designing high-performance CPU interconnect networks, coherency protocols, and last-level caches. Your daily responsibilities include defining micro-architectures, writing efficient RTL code, debugging logic issues, ensuring synthesis and timing closure, and collaborating with verification teams to validate your designs. You will also work closely with implementation teams to optimize performance, power consumption, and area efficiency while mentoring junior engineers. This role requires expertise in Verilog, a deep understanding of the ASIC design flow, and experience in processor or high-performance semiconductor design. Ideal candidates have a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, along with 5+ years of relevant industry experience and a strong background in computer architecture, cache coherency, and high-speed interconnects.

What you'll do

  • Design and deliver high-performance, low-power RTL code for CPU interconnects and caches.
  • Ensure synthesis and timing closure for assigned units on the chip.
  • Collaborate with verification teams to validate design correctness.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide guidance in logic design and verification.
  • Assist implementation team to meet performance, power, and area goals.
  • Document design processes and contribute to overall project documentation.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science required.
  • 5+ years of experience in processor or related high performance semiconductor designs.
  • Expertise in Verilog and deep understanding of ASIC design flow including RTL design and verification.
  • Strong communication skills for working effectively in a dynamic global team environment.
  • Experience with logic synthesis, prototyping, DFT, timing analysis, floor-planning, ECO, bring-up & lab debug.
  • Background in computer architecture, cache coherency or high speed interconnects preferred.
