As a CPU RTL Architect you will own or participate in the following: Micro-architecture development and specification - from early high-level architectural exploration through micro-architectural research and arriving at a detailed specification. RTL ownership - development assessment and refinement of RTL design to target power performance area and timing goals. Verification - support the verification team in test bench development formal methods and simulation/emulation for formal verification Performance exploration and correlation - explore high-performance strategies and work with the performance verification team to verify that the RTL design meets targeted performance. Design delivery - work with multi-functional engineering team to implement and verify physical design on the aspects of timing area reliability testability and power.
