Remuneration that values experience

Job summary

Openchip & Software Technologies S.L. in Limerick, Ireland, is seeking a CPU Senior Architecture Engineer to define architectural and micro-architectural specifications for high-performance SoC cores, focusing on power, area, and performance efficiency.

You will collaborate with architecture, design, and SW teams to optimize systems, model workloads with simulators, and analyze trade-offs for accelerator-integrated SOCs in a hybrid work environment, with flexibility for Rome or Barcelona options.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in OOO superscalar CPU designs.
• Understanding of CPU micro-architectures, memory hierarchy, and coherency in multi-core systems.
• Understanding of SoC design principles and the integration of accelerators, CPUs, and memory subsystems.
• Experience in utilizing advanced functional and performance simulators for architecture exploration, validation, and performance projection, including modeling complex software workloads.
• Knowledge of RISC-V architecture, hardware and software aspects.
• Experience with closely coupled accelerators.
• Familiarity with AI/ML software frameworks and their mapping onto hardware.

Responsibilities

• Authoring specifications for the CPU core in sufficient detail for design teams and other stakeholders. Conducting reviews as necessary.
• Close collaboration with other architects to optimize CPU system performance. This will include teams working on closely coupled accelerator engines, teams responsible for defining the SOC, and SW teams.
• Using simulators and other tools to model key workloads in terms of power & performance. This may involve "what if" tradeoff analysis on features and design choices.
• Close collaboration with design teams on implementation & verification. This may also include power analysis and process related decision making.
