CPU RTL Design Engineer

CPU RTL Design Engineer focuses on explore high performance strategies working with the cpu modelling team.

What the role involves

• Explore high performance strategies working with the CPU modelling team.
• Specification from early high-level architectural exploration, through micro architectural research and arriving at a detailed specification.
• Development, assessment and refinement of RTL design to target power, performance, area and timing goals.
• Help the design verification team execute on the functional verification strategy.
• Work with multi-functional engineering team to implement and validate physical design on the aspects of timing, area, reliability, testability and power.

Skills and requirements

• Load/store execution, prefetching, cache and memory subsystems.
• Knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL. Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools.
• Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implications.
• Understanding of high performance techniques and trade-offs in a CPU microarchitecture.

Candidate fit

• technical judgement, safe working habits, careful diagnostics, and practical problem-solving

Additional role context

• European Tech Recruit are working closely with a leading semicon company, based in Cambridge, who are looking for a talented CPU RTL Design Engineer to join their team.
