Hardware Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have over 10 years of full-time ASIC design experience, particularly in memory system development and RTL/micro-architecture definition. Your background includes a strong understanding of cache design and the various memory organizations and trade-offs involved in high-performance systems. You are hands-on with multi-processor cache coherence protocols and have a solid grasp of performance, power, and area (PPA) analysis.

You hold a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, and your preferred qualifications include a Master's degree and knowledge of high-performance coherent memory systems or interconnect architectures. You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to tackle complex design challenges that come with increasing levels of parallelism and bandwidth.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and develop hardware for the cache subsystem in high-performance system on a chip (SoC) architectures. You will explore architecture trade-offs in system performance, area, and power consumption while developing cache micro-architecture based on architectural guidelines and model analysis. Your responsibilities will include developing and debugging the register-transfer level (RTL) design of various sections in the cache subsystem, as well as working closely with the physical design team on timing closure.

You will be expected to craft special-purpose cache and controller designs that meet the varying needs of clients, such as real-time, low latency, and high-bandwidth requirements. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring that the cache subsystem operates efficiently within the overall memory hierarchy of the SoC. You will also collaborate with cross-functional teams to address design challenges and contribute to the continuous improvement of the memory subsystem.
