CPU RTL (Logic) Designer

IntroductionInfrastructure is a catalyst that makes the world work better because our clients demand it. Heterogeneous environments, the explosion of data, digital automation, and cybersecurity threats require hybrid infrastructure that only can provide.Your ability to be creative, a forward-thinker and to focus on innovation that matters, is all supported by our growth minded culture as we continue to drive career across our teams. Collaboration is key to Infrastructure success, as we bring together different business units and teams that balance their priorities in a way that best serves our 's needs.Product and technology landscape includes Research and Infrastructure. Entering this domain positions you at the heart of where growth and innovation thrive.Your Role and ResponsibilitiesAs a CPU RTL Logic Designer you will be responsible for defining and implementing the logical design used in the next-generation Cores powering the CPUs that are the heart of our system portfolio, including our IBM Z systems. Aggressive product requirements will create opportunities to implement innovative solutions in current products and influence the architecture/microarchitecture of future processors and systems. Opportunities could expand beyond the Processor Core to other parts of the CPU and/or other ASICs and FPGAs used across IBM's silicon portfolio.Job Duties:• Architect and specify novel CPU Core IP in conjunction with other CPU micro-architects and project leadership in support of program goals for function, performance, PPA, and schedule.• Work with discipline leaders to continually prioritize work to optimize for schedule and quality.• Effectively team with a cross-site team of leaders and individual contributors spanning CPU design, architecture, and software.• Own and deliver the detailed RTL implementation of specific CPU Core IP.• Refine the CPU design, document design updates, and communicate work progress.• Effectively team with a cross-site, multidisciplinary team.About the TeamThis diverse team is composed of IBM's best-in-class chip development team responsible for delivering the latest silicon used in the IBM z16 and IBM Power10 line of systems. This team is primarily based in Poughkeepsie, NY and Austin, TX and spans multiple geographies across the US as well as the globe; namely Germany, India, Israel, and others.Required Technical and Professional Expertise• 2+ years of RTL Design experience• VHDL or Verilog experience• Interdisciplinary design experience• Demonstrated expertise in architecting and designing specific CPU Core IP (e.g., Instruction Fetch and Branch Prediction, Load/Store)Preferred Technical and Professional Expertise• 3+ years of experience designing the RTL for specific CPU Core IP (e.g., Instruction Fetch and Branch Prediction, Load/Store)• Exposure to industry microprocessor designs (e.g., x86, ARM, or RISC-V processor designs)
