Staff RTL/Digital Design Engineer - (CPU Team) - Visas Transfers Supported
CPU RTL Design Engineer (Staff)
A fantastic opportunity for an experienced RTL Design Engineer to join a global leader in semiconductors, working alongside their CPU Team in Cambridge (UK).
About the Role
Working on CPU RTL development targeted for high-performance, low-power devices, you will develop designs while collaborating with chip architects to conceive microarchitecture ideas. Early involvement in the product lifecycle ensures direct contributions to architecture and product definition.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Performance exploration: Collaborate with the CPU modelling team to explore high-performance strategies.
- Microarchitecture development and specification: Proceed from high-level architectural exploration, through microarchitectural research, and arrive at a detailed design specification.
- RTL ownership: Develop, assess, and refine RTL design to achieve targets for performance, efficiency, power, and timing.
- Functional verification support: Assist the design verification team in executing the functional verification strategy.
- Performance verification support: Ensure the RTL design meets performance goals.
- Design delivery: Work with a multi-functional engineering team to implement and validate the physical design—focusing on timing, area, reliability, testability, and power.
