These products support everything from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and artificial intelligence. You will be part of a skilled engineering team pushing the boundaries of computing’s future.

What you’ll be doing

• Drafting microarchitecture documents and implementing high-performance, area, and power-efficient RTL to meet strictly defined development targets and specifications.
• Analyzing architectural trade-offs based on features, performance requirements, and area/power constraints.
• Crafting micro-architecture, implementing them in RTL, and delivering fully verified, synthesis/timing‑clean builds.
• Collaborating closely with architects, other designers, and pre‑ and post‑silicon verification teams to deliver world‑class RTL builds.
• Working on a diverse list of IPs, including GPU’s time distribution system, engine scheduler, interrupt controllers, and copy engines.
• Assisting the silicon bring‑up team in debugging and post‑silicon validation activities.

What we need to see

• BS/MS Degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• 2+ years of relevant RTL design work experience.
• Strong in micro‑architecture and RTL development (Verilog), as well as entire front‑end flows including logic synthesis, power, and timing analysis.
• Exposure to Digital systems and VLSI design, Computer Architecture, and Computer Arithmetic.
• Strong coding skills in Perl, Python, or other industry‑standard scripting languages.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a proven ability to work well in a team.

Ways to stand out from the crowd

• Strong C/C++ skills.
• Experience in multi-clock domains and asynchronous logic, interface protocols and arbitration schemes.
• Outstanding debugging, problem-solving, and analytical abilities.

Salary and benefits

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is $116,000 – $189,750 for Level2, and $136,000 – $218,500 for Level3. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
