Requirements

  • Expertise in digital design and microarchitecture
  • Experience owning complex designs through RTL, verification, implementation, and silicon or post-silicon debug
  • Ability to write Verilog or SystemVerilog
  • Ability to interpret synthesis and timing results
  • Experience delivering complex ASIC or accelerator hardware
  • Experience providing technical direction and mentoring engineers
  • Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology

Responsibilities

  • Own and refine microarchitectural features for a technical area or subsystem
  • Influence architecture and interfaces and guide implementation work
  • Lead power, performance, and area trade-offs
  • Drive alignment across RTL, verification, performance, physical design, software, and architecture
  • Resolve interface and dependency conflicts
  • Coordinate root-cause analysis and drive corrective action through validation closure
  • Provide technical direction, mentorship, reusable design practices, and review standards
  • Represent the team in architecture and cross-functional reviews
