The Role and Impact:
Join Intel as a CPU Performance Architect in Austin, TX and play a pivotal role in advancing cutting-edge semiconductor technology. You will be at the forefront of designing and developing CPU logic, ensuring power, performance, and area optimization to meet Intel's world-class standards. As part of our innovative engineering team, your contributions will directly impact the success of Intel's CPU designs and their integration into system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the architecture and microarchitecture of CPUs, influencing the development of industry-leading processors that power the future of computing.
Key Responsibilities:
Develops and drives end-to-end CPU architecture specifications for highly optimized, modular, and scalable CPU based on hardware features, requirements, and interoperability of hardware and software throughout the product life cycle.
Understands the CPU requirements and defines targets (performance, power, frequency, and area) and content (features) that meet the requirements.
Evaluates feasibility trade-offs, explores, and defines new approaches and novel architectures for CPU.
Invents, conceptualizes, and specifies architectural and microarchitecture features to deliver optimized CPU requirements for multiple segments from high performance computing to extreme low-power products.
Models CPU performance and power, analyzes the bottlenecks of current CPUs on workloads that reflect CPU future usage.
Develops tests, test plans, and testing infrastructure for new architectures/features for CPU, performs functional modeling simulations, and conducts analysis of test results using advanced statistics and data predictions for benchmarking performance and determining areas for improvement.
Provides experimental/proof-of-concept changes for proposing design alternatives meeting performance, power, area, and timing constraints.
Collaborates with architects, design, verification, and validation engineers during the execution of the project.
Delivers definition of new microarchitecture and finds mitigations for issues that arise during feature implementation to improve the overall design of CPU and overcome bottlenecks and constraints.
