• Work closely with design engineers to meet all performance, power and area goals

Required Skills and Experience

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
• Minimum 5 years of post-degree work experience in processor RTL and microarchitecture design (think senior types)
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer (in one of these fields or another relevant field) along with at least 7 years of confirmed experience may be substituted

Desirable Attributes

• Domain expertise in low power design techniques with strong understanding of CPU microarchitecture for high-performance out-of-order designs
• High-performance, low-latency execution, high area-efficient and power-efficient processor design
• Hands-on experience using Verilog or VHDL HDL for design
• Designing for synthesis targeted to achieve specified power, frequency, and area targets
• Make good judgements on functionality, performance, and physical implementation trade-offs
• Familiarity with C and assembly language, preferably AArch64
