CPU ASIC Design Engineer
An exciting opportunity is available for a CPU ASIC Design Engineer to join a global industry leader at their largest UK office, based in Cambridge. You will join a highly respected engineering team working on next-generation products, including high-performance CPUs and GPUs, ultra-low-power IoT devices, and advanced wearables.
As a CPU ASIC Engineer, you will focus on CPU RTL development for high-performance, low-power systems. Working closely with chip architects, you will help define micro-architectures and contribute to early architectural and product-level decisions throughout the development lifecycle.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the CPU modelling team to explore strategies for achieving high performance
- Lead micro-architecture development and specification, from early architectural exploration through detailed design
- Own RTL development, including design creation, refinement, and assessment to meet power, performance, area, and timing requirements
- Support performance verification to ensure the RTL implementation meets defined performance targets
- Partner with cross-functional teams to deliver the design to physical implementation, ensuring compliance with timing, area, power, reliability, and testability goals
