CPU Synthesis CAD Engineer

the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and passionate engineers in the world to create designs that push the envelope on performance, energy efficiency, and scalability. As a CPU Synthesis CAD engineer, you will build and support the world's best synthesis and implementation tools and flows to ensure our custom CPUs have industry-leading power, performance, and area.

* Develop, integrate, and release new features in our high-performance synthesis CAD flow

* Architect and recommend methodology improvements to ensure best-in-class power, performance, and area

* Maintain, support, and debug synthesis and implementation flows, and resolve project-specific issues

* Work closely with worldwide CPU physical design teams and provide synthesis methodology guidance

* Work with EDA vendors to define roadmaps and resolve synthesis tool issues

* 8+ years of hands-on experience in synthesis and place-and-route of high-performance chips

* Experience with front-end tasks including logic and physical synthesis, LEC, UPF, and front-end signoff

* Strong user of synthesis tools such as Cadence Genus or Synopsys Fusion Compiler

* Proven track record of managing and regressing synthesis flows

* Leverages advanced knowledge of computer architecture, micro-architecture, logic design, circuits, and physical design

* Anticipates, identifies, and solves highly complex problems to ensure design completeness, power, and performance

* Collaborates with cross-functional teams to define requirements, specifications, and trade-offs

* Evaluates the design lifecycle from architecture definition through post-silicon validation

* Writes and reviews detailed technical documentation for highly complex CPU designs

* Decision-making significantly affects work beyond the immediate group

* Tasks require independent planning, problem-solving, and prioritization
