What You'll Be Doing

• Collaborate with other micro-architects and senior designers to propose and demonstrate the merit and limitations of innovative core CPU microarchitectural features to drive up performance per area per power on various targeted workloads.
• Do the detailed performance modeling and debug, and studies to support inclusion of these features in the next generation core microarchitecture on the basis of performance, area or power improvement
• Partner with design and verification leads to iterate through specification, implementation in RTL and verification of the microarchitecture features to achieve target functionality, performance, frequency, area, power and verifiability
• Collaborate with Silicon Bring-up and Product teams to verify and debug the microarchitecture and its delivered performance
  
  

• B.Sc. / M.Sc. / PhD in Computer Engineering / Computer Science / Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• At least 3 years of software development experience in C++ and Python.
• A track record of developing and maintaining SW systems.
  
  

• Deep understanding in CPU core architecture and microarchitecture.
• Prior experience in cycle accurate performance modeling.
• Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills.
