Your Role and Responsibilities
As a CPU RTL (Logic) Designer you will be responsible for defining and implementing the logical design used in the next-generation Cores powering the CPUs that are the heart of our system portfolio, including our IBM Z systems. Aggressive product requirements will create opportunities to implement innovative solutions in current products and influence the architecture/microarchitecture of future processors and systems. Opportunities could expand beyond the Processor Core to other parts of the CPU and/or other ASICs and FPGAs used across IBM's silicon portfolio.
Job Duties:
- Work under the guidance of unit and functional leadership to provide deliveries on schedule with quality.
- Effectively team with a cross-site team of leaders and individual contributors.
- Own and deliver the detailed RTL implementation of specific CPU Core IP based off microarchitectural specifications in support of program goals for function, performance, PPA, and schedule.
- Proactively update design documentation and communicate work progress to leadership.
About the Team
This diverse team is composed of IBM's best-in-class chip development team responsible for delivering the latest silicon used in the IBM z16 and IBM Power10 line of systems. This team is primarily based in Poughkeepsie, NY and Austin, TX and spans multiple geographies across the US as well as the globe; namely Germany, India, Israel, and others.
Required Technical and Professional Expertise
