  • Translate CPU microarchitecture into a synthesizable, performant design
  • Verify high-performance, out-of-order RISC-V CPUs
  • Develop assertions and formal-analysis flows
  • Validate CPU performance through workload bring-up, simulation, emulation, and bottleneck analysis
  • Build scalable software, automation, CI/CD, and test infrastructure
  • Develop low-level software, firmware, testing, and automation

Required qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in EE, ECE, CS, CE or related field
  • Strong academic performance with hands-on related coursework, project or work experience
  • Interest in RISC-V, CPU architecture, AI/ML hardware, verification, performance, or low-level software
  • Strong debugging, analytical, communication, and collaboration skills
  • Ability to learn new tools and work in an on-site engineering environment
  • Strong foundational exposure to one or more of the following: HDLs (such as SystemVerilog), computer architecture, or RTL design and debugging concepts
  • Programming or scripting skills in Assembly, C/C++, Python, or Perl
  • Design verification, formal analysis, simulation, testbenches, or coverage analysis
  • CPU microarchitecture, out-of-order pipelines, memory systems, or performance modeling
  • Familiarity with Linux, Git, CI/CD pipelines, firmware, or low-level system software

Nice to have

  • Interest or exposure with AI tools to accelerate development and workflows

Benefits

  • Highly competitive compensation package and benefits

Before you apply
