Responsibilities

RISC-V CPU Unit Microarchitecture Specification: Define and develop microarchitecture specifications for the assigned unit (branch predictor, rename, instruction scheduling, vector execution, load/store, vector load/store support). The specification includes not only design, but also comprehensive analysis / strategy for verification and PPA (power, performance, area) closure
RISC-V CPU Core Unit RTL Design: The candidate will be responsible for the quality of RTL including design verification and PPA closure. This includes writing RTL, reviewing / refining unit verification environment, applying right RTL optimization to control PPA
AI Assisted Design Adaption: To maximize the team’s output, the candidate actively uses AI tools to accelerate the CPU design process
Mentoring Junior Engineers: depending on a seniority of the engineer, the engineer may mentor junior members in the team
