Introduction
As a Hardware Developer at IBM, you'll get to work on the systems that are driving the quantum revolution and the AI era. Join an elite team of engineering professionals who enable IBM customers to make better decisions quicker on the most trusted hardware platform in today's market.

Your Role and Responsibilities

• Lead the Architecture, Design and development of processor L2 and LLC (Last Level Cache) for high-performance IBM Systems.
• Design and architect L2 cache and LLC as driven by capacity, latency, bandwidth, and RAS requirements.
• Develop the features, present the proposed architecture in the High level design discussions
• Develop micro-architecture, Design RTL, Collaborate with Verification, DFT, Physical design, FW, SW teams to develop the feature
• Signoff the Pre-silicon Design that meets all the functional, area and timing goals
• Participate in silicon bring-up and validation of the hardware
• Lead a team of engineers, guide and mentor team members, represent as Logic Design Lead in global forums.
• Estimate the overall effort to develop the feature.
• Estimate silicon area and wire usage for the feature.

• 4 to 8 years of relevant experience
• At least 1 generation of processor L2 cache or LLC design delivery leadership.
• Expertise in cache coherence protocols for symmetric multiprocessors (SMP), covering both chip SMP and multi-socket SMP.
• Experience with NuCA / NuMA (Non-uniform Cache / Memory architecture) architectures and implementations.
• Working knowledge of memory consistency, store ordering, weakly and strongly ordered memory.
• Experience in logical and physical design of caches including directories (tags, set associative memories), data SRAM, design for low latency, multiple parallel finite state machine design, deadlock-free designs.
