Do you want to help drive the development of CPU technology for architectures used for artificial intelligence (AI) / deep learning (DL), high-performance computing (HPC), cloud service providers (CSP), gaming, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles? Come join the CPU tooling and design automation team and help us push boundaries for all our CPU products!

What you'll be doing:

  • Work on CAD tools development for the CPU/Fabric teams to improve efficiency

  • Develop Network-on-Chip (NoC)/SoC tooling, working closely with architects, chip leads and designers

  • Push the frontiers of NoC/SoC tooling in order to enable productivity improvements

  • Understand the chip design flow and distill this knowledge into feature requirements for tooling

  • Develop complex automation involving advanced graph algorithms leading towards more push-button solutions

  • Work with teams throughout the company (Architects, RTL, PD etc.) on implementing cross-team solutions to achieve project targets.

  • Drive cross-team methodologies for deployment of this tooling.

What we need to see:

  • Master's Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)

  • 10+ years of relevant work experience in EDA tool development

  • 10+ years of relevant development experience with large C++ codebases

  • Proficiency with EDA style databases and basic graph algorithms

  • Experience with build flows such as Make and scripting languages

  • Experience deploying in-house EDA tools across groups, solving flow issues etc.

  • Strong interpersonal, communication and teamwork skills.

  • A drive to continuously learn and expand architectural breadth and depth.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with approximation algorithms is a plus

  • Background with Network-on-Chip tooling is nice to have

  • Experience with wire-level EDA databases will help you stand out
