Designing and optimizing high-performance CPU microarchitectures for mobile, data center, and other applications
Developing and implementing innovative microarchitecture techniques, analyze performance, and optimize SoC designs
Performing quantitative analysis of key mobile benchmarks and correlate with hardware performance monitoring unit (PMU) stats
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop and integrate system-on-chip (SoC) designs
Analyzing and optimizing CPU performance using top-down microarchitecture analysis methods
Extracting and assessing key microarchitecture ideas from open literature and applying them to designs
Writing RTL code (Verilog or SV) and C/C++/Python scripts for performance evaluation of microarchitecture techniques

Requirements

15+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or 13+ years of experience with a Master’s Degree, or 11+ years of experience with a Ph.D.
Strong fundamentals in key computer architecture concepts, such as virtual aliasing, pipelining, cache hierarchies, coherency, memory subsystem, etc.
Deep knowledge in high-performance OoO CPU microarchitecture and SOTA optimization techniques in key areas such as pipelining, interlock, caching, prefetching, branch prediction, cache/TLB hierarchy and their PPA implications
Ability to perform quantitative analysis of key mobile benchmarks such as Geekbench6 and SPECCPU17 and correlation with HW PMU stats (cache misses, TLB misses, pipeline stalls, etc.)
