Job Description

SiFive is seeking a hardware design engineer who is passionate about designing industry‑leading debug, trace and profiling IP to help drive the tidal wave of adoption of RISC‑V as the architecture of choice for SOC designs across a broad variety of vertical applications.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design and implement debug, trace and profiling hardware.
• Work with architecture, performance, software and hardware teams in architecture/microarchitecture exploration and specification.
• Implement RTL generators such that elements self‑configure to optimally design‑in extensive configurability as a first‑class consideration.
• Integrate new design content into SiFive’s Chisel/FIRRTL framework and contribute to improvements to that framework to enable automatic configuration/generation of documentation, verification testbenches and tests, and packaged software.
• Perform initial sandbox verification, and work with design verification team to create and execute thorough verification test plans.
• Ensure that knowledge is shared via creation and maintenance of great documentation and participation in a culture of collaborative design.

Requirements

• Knowledgeable in debug, trace and profiling architecture and concepts.
• Knowledgeable in debug interfaces, JTAG, cJTAG.
• Knowledgeable in CPU architectures, power management and SoC design.
• Experience in debugging tools, profiling methods.
• Proficiency with hardware (RTL) design in Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL.
• Attention to detail and a focus on high‑quality design.
• Ability to work well with others and a belief that engineering is a team sport.
• Knowledge of at least one object‑oriented and/or functional programming language.
• Knowledge of one or more: Chisel/Scala, RISC‑V architecture, Git/Jira/Confluence is a plus.
• 7+ years of industry experience leading and directly contributing to architecture, microarchitecture and RTL design for debug/trace/profiling hardware for high‑performance processors.
• MS/PhD in EE, CE, CS or a related technical discipline.
