CPU Physical Design Engineer - CPU Engineering

•    Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

•    14+ years of work experience with high-performance microprocessor design.
•    14+ years of work experience with high level programming (e.g., C, C++), scripting language programming (e.g., Perl, Python, etc.).
•    14+ years of work experience with simulators and/or waveform debugging tools (e.g., Verilog, VHDL, etc.).

•    14+ years of work experience with industry standard tools for synthesis place and/or route and design verification.

•    14+ years of work experience with simulation, emulation, formal verification, or silicon validation.

•    14+ years of experience in creating functional models, checkers, test plans, and/or test generation.

•    3+ years experience working in a large matrixed organization.

•    2+ years in a technical leadership role.

•    1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director level and above).

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

•    Leverages expert knowledge of computer architecture, micro-architecture, logic design, circuits, and/or physical design to develop and verify highly critical high performance and low power CPU designs.

•    Anticipates, identifies, and solves highly complex problems to ensure design completeness, functionality, power, and performance.

•    Collaborates with high-level cross-functional stakeholders to define requirements, specifications, and trade-offs (e.g., performance, power, cost, functionalities, etc.) in order to accomplish product goals.

•    Evaluates all aspects of the design process from conceptualization to productization (i.e., architecture definition, feasibility, pre-silicon design and verification, and post-silicon validation) that meet customer and industry standards.

•    Writes detailed technical documentation (e.g., feature descriptions, architectural descriptions, verification test plans, and implementation details, etc.) for highly complex CPU designs; reviews documentation of experienced engineers.

Level of Responsibility:
•    Provides supervision to direct reports.
•    Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group.
•    Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc. 

•    Has a great degree of influence over key organizational decisions.

•    Tasks often require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
