AI SILICON DESIGN – RTL/ARCHITECTURE ENGINEER:

RTL design and microarchitecture definition of high-performance microprocessors going into industry leading AI/ML architecture. The person coming into this role will define new features and code the RTL across multiple areas of our processor Core. The work is done alongside with a group of highly experienced engineers across various domains of the AI chip. 

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Define architecture and logic design requirements by understanding rapidly evolving AI/ML models; work with engineers across domains to understand real world use cases  
• RTL coding in Verilog leveraging on both industry tools as well as open-source infrastructure 
• Drive trade-offs for your logic by working closely with performance, DV and physical design engineers to craft optimal solutions that meet the design goals 
• Deploy innovative techniques for improving power, performance and area of the design, drive experiments with RTL and evaluate synthesis, timing and power results 
• Debug RTL/logic issues across various hierarchies (ex: core, chip) in both pre-silicon and post-silicon environment

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: 

• BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS with at least 5 years of experience  
• Experience with computer architecture/system components/network/fabrics as a part of a CPU, ASIC or SOC design team
