General Summary:

If you enjoy deep microarchitecture, high quality RTL, and solving hard performance and efficiency problems that ship at scale, we'd love to talk.

We're expanding our CPU Core RTL Design team and are looking for experienced microarchitecture / RTL engineers across multiple core domains to work on cutting-edge, high-performance processors.

This is hands-on, high-ownership work, not maintenance.

What youll work on
Architect, design, and optimize CPU core microarchitecture
Own end-to-end RTL in one or more domains: Fetch | Decode | Rename | Execute | Vector | LoadStore | Memory Management
Collaborate closely with Architecture, DV, Physical Design, Post-Silicon, Power and Performance teams
Drive performance, power, and area tradeoffs using real data
Deliver production-ready, high-quality RTL that goes into silicon

What were looking for
Solid fundamentals in CPU microarchitecture and RTL design
Deep expertise in one or more pipeline stages (Frontend or Backend)
Proficiency in SystemVerilog
Experience with debugging, optimization,



and performance analysis
512 years of CPU experience (senior engineers very welcome)

Why join us Youll work on core IP that truly matters, alongside world-class engineers, in a team that values technical rigor, clean design, and engineering excellence.

This is an chance to shape the future of high-performance computing not just contribute to it.
