DESIGN ENGINEER – CPU DESIGN

Job Description
In this highly challenging design role, the IC designer is to work with a team for the development of ARM9 cores in 0.18 um, 0.13 um and below technologies. The responsibility includes design creation, characterization, integration and optimization, and for system test and debug. Driven by high performance and low power design requirements, the designer needs to develop special circuit and logic components for the ARM9 cores. Based on the licensed ARM technology this company has, one needs to go over the entire design implementation that covers design specification to final post-layout simulation and silicon characterization. The position is to work closely with other engineering and product marketing teams for end product development. Deep understanding of the application of the ARM cores in various domains is essential, system SOC integration and interface needs to be continuously strengthened.

Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 10 years in circuit and logic design with hands-on experience in the design and development of advanced CPU cores. Exceptional knowledge from CPU specification, design development, testing, SOC interface and integration is required. Must be very familiar and knowledgeable with CPU architecture, high performance and low power design. Working experience in development of domain-specific application is a plus. The ability to work with and develop relationships with multiple function groups and execute in a fast paced environment is essential.

Required Education:
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering required. Advanced degree in an engineering discipline is preferred.
