Join Our High-Performance CPU Design Team!
We are looking for passionate engineers to help shape the next generation of compute architectures. If you thrive on solving complex problems in cache design and coherency, this is your opportunity to make an impact.
As an L2 Cache Design Engineer, you will:
Drive micro-architecture development for L2 cache subsystems, from concept to detailed specification.
Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and verification teams to deliver high-quality, low-power designs.
Analyze and improve performance, power, and area (PPA) trade-offs for cache structures.
Support functional and performance verification, ensuring correctness and efficiency.
Develop micro-architecture specifications for L2 cache and related coherency logic.
Own RTL design and refinement to meet timing, power, and reliability goals.
Participate in performance modeling and exploration for high-bandwidth cache systems.
Contribute to design methodology improvements and automation.
Strong knowledge of cache and memory subsystems, including L2 cache design principles.
Familiarity with AMBA CHI/AXI protocols and interconnect design.
Understanding of low-power design techniques and timing closure.
Solid grasp of computer architecture fundamentals: pipeline design, hazard detection, ordering rules.
Experience with scripting (Perl/Python) for design automation is a plus.
2 to 15 years exp in CPU or SoC design focusing on cache/memory subsystems.
~ Exposure to physical design constraints and PPA optimization.
Work on cutting-edge CPU architectures for high-performance, low-power devices.
Opportunities for growth and leadership in advanced micro-architecture design.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 7+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
