AI generated summary

  • You must have complex IP design experience, low-power logic design skills, fluent in RTL Verilog/VHDL, and a strong background in computer architecture. Team player with excellent communication skills is essential.
  • You will collaborate on GPU micro-architecture, implement designs while balancing efficiency and constraints, resolve timing issues, work with verification and physical design teams, and debug integrated systems.

Requirements

  • Previous complex IP design experience required.
  • Experience working on GPUs is desirable but not required.
  • Understanding of implementing modern design techniques.
  • Hands on experience with energy-efficient and low-power logic design.
  • Strong background in computer architecture including one or more of: high-speed CMOS processor and controller blocks, cache controllers, bus-interface subsystems, integer and floating-point numeric units, digital filters, graphics processors, crossbar fabrics and other high-speed data-path control units.
  • Well-versed in logic optimisation, synthesis, and timing analysis.
  • Fluency with RTL Verilog/VHDL syntax & hardware modelling.
  • Familiarity with logic simulation and debug environments as well as formal verification.
  • Ability to work well in a team and be productive under tight schedules.
  • Excellent communications skills, self-motivated and well-organised.
  • BSc/MSc/BEng/MEng/PhD in related fields.
  • Some international travel required.

Responsibilities

  • You will work closely with other designers to refine GPU micro-architectural specifications as well as collaborate with the architecture, physical design & verification teams to identify potential issues as early as possible.
  • You will implement the micro-architecture, targeting cutting-edge technology nodes, balancing energy efficiency, performance and area constraints with project schedule, maintainability and coding elegance.
  • You will review synthesis and power reports, root-cause, resolve timing & power issues and ensure maximal QoR (quality of results) throughout your design.
  • As your design approaches functional completion, your task will be to work closely with the verification team to ensure the design behaves as intended and is tested thoroughly.
  • At this point, there will be ongoing collaboration with the physical design team to help with any adjustments necessary to produce an optimal layout of the design, in its context.
  • Once your design is integrated into the system as a whole, you'll be simulating and debugging issues both within and around your design.
