Processor Subsystem Architect

Job Details

Job Description:

• Responsible for defining and architecting RISCV/ARM based processor subsystems for Altera FPGA products on state-of-the-art process nodes and will provide technical leadership to the rest of the team in all aspects related to the domain.
• Understanding system requirements, converting those to specification/architecture and definition of processor subsystems that can scale to be seamlessly used in different products and/or bigger subsystems.
• Responsible for working with architects and engineers in various global teams in Intel such as FW/SW, DFT, DFD, security, SoC integration to ensure that the processor subsystem architecture meets requirements on all these fronts, with excellent PPA metrics.
  
  

Qualifications

The successful candidate's minimum qualifications and responsibilities will include, but not limited to, the following:

BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with a minimum of 10 years of experience in VLSI design and architecture, on advanced process nodes

• Must have been part of entire silicon cycle from architecture to tape out and successful silicon bring-up, at least for 1 product
• Must be very strong on digital design including clocking, resets, power, CDC, RDC.
• Must be able to architect HW accelerators and identify/analyze/meet PPA requirements
• Must have strong understanding of ARM/RISCV and subsystem components such as DMA, NoC/NIC, Interrupt controllers (GIC-600 etc), Debug/trace (SoC-600 etc), with 5+ years of experience on these.
• Must have in-depth understanding of AMBA protocols such as ACE, AXI, AHB, APB and interconnects
