The Role:

We are looking for a recent new college graduate to join our Design and Power Engineer team and work on Advanced Algorithm and Power Features high-performance microprocessor design projects. We deliver world-class, state of the art power-efficient designs to compute systems ranging from cutting edge client personal computers to high end servers and supercomputers to next generation gaming solutions!

The Person:

The person for this role would need problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail. Be able to use previous knowledge obtained through either research or a previous internship and apply those into this role. Contribute and collaborate closely with system/SOC hardware architects, firmware, BIOS and software programmers and product, test and validation engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

Help develop and drive innovations to support power-efficient designs from early power definition to layout, synthesis and back-end physical design.

Work end-to-end delivering complex power management feature algorithm architecture from proof-of-concept prototyping to post-silicon bring-up characterization and final preparation for productization.

• Drive feature definition and implement prototypes
• Develop system level models and use cases
• Document specifications and test hardware solutions.

Preferred Experience:

• Proven experience through research or academic projects with microprocessor or chipset hardware design for power, embedded microcontroller firmware development, hardware test and verification environments
• Experience in microprocessor and computer architecture, power firmware algorithm development, electrical characterization for production and power software, through academic research or previous internships
• Familiarity with chip design tools including RTL and Verilog
• Programming skills in either C or C++ as well as scripting with Perl or Python, for example, and experience with modeling
• Familiarity with both Windows and UNIX platforms
• Programming Algorithms

Academic Credentials:

• MS or PhD in EE, CE, CS
