TL;DR · Senior RTL Engineer, Memory Centric Computing

The Senior RTL Engineer, Memory Centric Computing joins the AGI Computing Lab to address complex system-level challenges posed by future AI/ML workloads. This role involves developing IP for memory centric computing systems while optimizing for performance, power, and area using techniques like pipelining, parallelism, and data compression. The engineer will utilize Verilog, System Verilog, and HLS to build complex control and data path IPs, including Memory Controllers, NOC, and Interconnect IP. Key responsibilities include collaborating with verification engineers on test plans, troubleshooting hardware issues, and making design trade-offs across thermal, cost, and performance metrics. The position requires a strong background in microarchitecture and computer architecture to solve the computational and memory requirements of demanding AI/ML applications in a scalable, energy-efficient manner.

What you'll do

  • Develop IP for memory-centric computing systems using Verilog, System Verilog, and HLS.
  • Optimize IP for performance, power, and area using pipelining, parallelism, and data compression.
  • Design and develop test plans in collaboration with verification engineers.
  • Make design decisions regarding trade-offs between performance, power, thermal, and cost.
  • Troubleshoot and debug hardware issues to ensure design quality through verification and validation.
  • Research and contribute to new technologies in machine learning and hardware architecture.
  • Communicate with stakeholders to ensure systems are delivered on time and within budget.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s with 5+ years, Master’s with 3+ years, or PhD with 0+ years of industry experience.
  • Strong background in microarchitecture and computer architecture.
  • 5+ years of experience in front-end design methodology involving RTL development for complex control and data path IPs.
  • Experience in designing Memory Controller, NOC, Interconnect IP.
  • Experience in Memory Centric computing IP and SOC integration.
  • Experience in AI/ML workloads.
  • Ability to develop IP for memory centric computing systems using Verilog, System Verilog, and HLS.
  • Ability to optimize IP for performance, power, and area using pipelining, parallelism, and data compression.
