About the Role
The RTL Design team at the UK GPU Design Centre works on complex, large-scale GPU related projects. We partner with our graphics architecture, functional verification, and physical design teams to deliver high-quality graphics IP in order to meet performance, feature, timing, area and power goals.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with other designers to refine GPU micro-architectural specifications.
- Collaborate with architecture, physical design, and verification teams to identify potential issues early.
- Implement micro-architecture targeting cutting-edge technology nodes, balancing constraints.
- Review synthesis and power reports, root-cause and resolve timing and power issues.
- Ensure maximal QoR (quality of results) throughout the design.
- Work closely with the verification team to ensure the design behaves as intended and is tested thoroughly.
- Collaborate with the physical design team to make necessary adjustments for optimal layout.
- Simulate and debug issues within and around the design once integrated into the system.
Requirements
- Previous complex IP design experience.
- Understanding of implementing modern design techniques.
- Hands-on experience with energy-efficient and low-power logic design.
- Strong background in computer architecture including one or more of: high-speed CMOS processor and controller blocks, cache controllers, bus-interface subsystems, integer and floating-point numeric units, digital filters, graphics processors, crossbar fabrics, and other high-speed data-path control units.
- Well-versed in logic optimization, synthesis, and timing analysis.
- Fluency with RTL Verilog/VHDL syntax & hardware modeling.
- Familiarity with logic simulation and debug environments as well as formal verification.
- Ability to work well in a team and be productive under tight schedules.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Self-motivated and well-organized.
