CPU Core Logic Designer

Job Description

As a CPU Core Logic Designer responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for a CPU required to generate cell libraries, functional units, and the CPU IP block for integration in full chip designs.
• Participates actively in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU being designed.
• Applies various strategies, tools, and methods to write RTL and optimize logic to qualify the design to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals as well as design integrity for physical implementation.
• Reviews the verification plan and implementation to ensure design features are verified correctly and resolves and implements corrective measures for failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of features.
• Documents micro architectural specs (MAS) of the CPU features being designed.
• Supports SoC customers to ensure high-quality integration of the CPU block.
