Job Summary

Seeking a highly experienced CPU micro-architect to shape next-generation OoO cores for AI, HPC, and edge devices. You will optimize pipelines, caches, and ISA extensions, model performance with cross-functional teams, and drive improvements from silicon data to execution-time performance across multi-core architectures.

Location: San Jose, Austin

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Solutions Engineering & Sales Engineering

Key Responsibilities

•Improve the benchmarks and real-use-case performance (IPC, power/area efficiency) of a state of the art OoO CPU core, covering core pipelines, branch prediction, prefetching, and cache/TLB hierarchy.
•Work with the performance simulation team to model the microarchitecture of the SOTA core.
•Correlate simulation results against silicon measurement data, and perform root cause analysis and debugging to identify discrepancies, ensuring model accuracy and reliability.
•Explore new features and ISA extensions (e.g., vector extensions, memory safety features, security enhancements) to drive performance improvements and reliability.
•Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks through modeling and prototyping.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 151,000 - 251,800 annually

Perks:MedicalDentalVision401kTuition AssistancePaid LeaveRelocation

Key Requirements

•10+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or 8+ years of experience with a Master’s Degree, or 6+ years of experience with a Ph.D.
•Extensive background in CPU microarchitecture design, with a strong understanding of computer architecture principles, including pipelining, superscalar design, cache hierarchies, coherency, and multi-core systems.
•Strong experience in performance analysis, modeling, and optimization, as well as common mobile benchmarks like GB6 and SpecInt17, and real use cases such as games and web browsing.
•Familiarity with Arm ISA (Armv8/v9) and extensions, or equivalent ISAs (x86 and RISC-V), and their impact on microarchitecture.
•Proficiency in reading – and writing as needed – hardware description languages (Verilog/SV) and programming languages (C++, Python) for modeling and simulation.
