Who You Are 

Responsibilities include but are not limited to: 

• Designs, develops, and builds custom digital circuits for a CPU, including memory and caches. 

• Designs floorplans, performs circuit design, schematic entry, simulation for CPU blocks, and verify functionality to optimize custom circuit for CPU power, performance, area, timing, and yield goals. 

• Creates block level DFT models, develops memory test tools, and improves and automates flows and methodologies to ensure streamlining of design. 

• Collaborates cross functionally to report design progress and to collect, track, and resolve any performance and CPU design issues. 

• Optimizes performance, power, and area, reduces leakage of CPU circuits, and drives characterization of individual memory instances and memory compilers. 

• Works with CPU architecture and layout teams to design circuits for best functionality, robustness, and electrical capabilities. 

You must possess the minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Relevant experience can be obtained through schoolwork, classes, project work, internships, and/or military experience. Additional preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
