Responsibilities
- Contribute to ASIC digital µArchitecture and design
- Assist performance/power analysis of the design and help meet power and performance targets
- Work with architects to map algorithms onto the hardware and specify requirements for IP and subsystems integration
- Collaborate with adjacent teams such as Verification, Physical Design, and Design-for-Test
- Develop micro-architecture, RTL coding, and design verification for complex IPs
- Drive IP/sub-system micro-architecture and RTL design in collaboration with DV and PD leads
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of experience as a Hardware Design Engineer for production silicon shipped in volume
- Experience in digital design µArchitecture, RTL coding, and micro-architecture development
- Experience communicating technical design decisions and trade-offs to cross-functional partners such as verification, physical design, and architecture teams
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with interconnect configurator and generation flows, and technically leading or mentoring engineers across deliverables
- Experience collaborating with physical design and timing partners on interconnect implementation, including timing- and floorplan-aware microarchitecture, pipelining and repeater strategy, physical partitioning, clock- and power-domain crossings, and architecture versus physical implementation trade-offs to close frequency, area, and power targets
- Experience defining fabric architecture and microarchitecture, including topology, address mapping, ordering and coherency requirements, buffering, quality-of-service, arbitration, and virtual-channel schemes, with industry-standard interconnect and bus protocols, and performance modeling and traffic-driven latency and bandwidth budgeting correlated against RTL results
- Demonstrated experience developing interconnect/NoC/fabric IP from architecture specification through RTL delivery
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
