About the role:

• Senior Principal Engineer is a senior technical role. Candidates are expected to bring a strong technical background with depth in at least one area of CPU design as well as experience in other units or design disciplines.
• This role requires strong leadership skills with experience leading small teams to achieve aggressive technical goals.
• You must be adept at working collaboratively with leaders from other groups including architecture, design verification, and silicon engineering.
• We highly value and fiercely protect our culture. We have built a highly collaborative and supportive team. We love working together! We are looking for designers who share our passion for a great working environment and who are willing to invest in the interpersonal care needed to maintain a close-knit design team.

What you’ll achieve:

• We believe the best technical leaders are those who stay grounded in design by spending the majority of their time making individual technical contributions.
• You can expect to own and lead feature development in all phases of design from initial definition through implementation in system verilog.
• Candidates are expected to have a solid understanding of design verification concepts and an ability to partner with the DV team to create robust and well-verified designs.
• Equally important is an understanding of physical design and the ability to partner with the silicon engineering team to create designs that are highly optimized for high speed, low power, and area efficiency.

About you:

• MSEE (or equivalent) in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 8+ years of semiconductor design experience.
• Experience with CPU microarchitecture, logic and RTL design implemented with low power design techniques.
• Expert knowledge of current high-speed logic design techniques, including ability to foresee physical implementation and timing challenges during early development.
• High competence in digital design/hardware design languages, ideally Verilog/System Verilog.
• An innovative and creative mindset with a strong attention to detail.
• Strong analytical skills with ability to create, measure, and evaluate tradeoffs between micro-architectural solutions to optimize for power, frequency and area.
