We are seeking a CPU Design Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing high-performance execution units in CPU, optimizing for power, performance, and area (PPA). You will work closely with cross-functional teams to refine microarchitecture, develop RTL, and validate designs. This is an opportunity to work on challenging projects and play a key role in defining execution unit architecture for next-generation CPU designs.

Responsibilities - Define, develop, and refine microarchitecture specifications for complex CPU subsystems.

- Design and implement RTL to achieve targeted power, performance, area, and timing goals.
- Collaborate closely with the verification team to establish effective validation strategies for new designs.
- Support test bench development and assist validation engineers in testing and debugging core and subsystem-level RTL in simulation, prototyping platforms, and silicon.
- Work with physical design teams to ensure that the design meets timing, area, reliability, testability, and power requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field; Master's degree; or a PhD.




- Strong understanding of microprocessor architecture and microarchitecture.
- Proficiency in applying trade-off and optimization techniques for performance, power, and area (PPA) in high-frequency design.
- Experience with SystemVerilog RTL development.
- Hands-on experience with front-end tools such as Verilog simulators, waveform viewers, linting tools, logic synthesis, and place-and-route.
- Programming skills in C/C++ and Python.
- Strong problem-solving skills and an analytical mindset.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with one or more of the following areas:
- High performance branch prediction, instruction fetch, instruction decode, instruction caches - Coherency protocols, memory consistency, L1/L2 caches, and TLBs design - Out-of-order execution, including allocation, renaming, scheduling, and retirement.
- ALU, floating-point, and vector operations. Apply for this position Personal information First name Last name Email Address Phone number Nationality Your resume Your LinkedIn Profile Upload your Resume/CV Upload File Max file size 10MB. Upload your coverletter Upload File Max file size 10MB.
