Job Description:

The role

This position is a unique opportunity to exercise your hardware design skills on cutting-edge designs within the prestigious PowerVR Hardware Graphics group. Here you will exercise your skills on key components that meet the latest demands and improvements for graphics, with a keen focus on increased optimisation and performance per mm2 and per mW.

You will:

1. Be responsible for the investigation, specification, implementation and final delivery of our GPU micro-architecture components.
2. Participate in the feasibility investigation of proposed micro-architectures.
3. Perform deep analysis in order to produce solutions that meet the required frequency, power, area and performance requirements in collaboration with other team members.
4. Work closely with the verification team to deliver high-quality RTL designs, supporting the creation of the relevant verification plan, closure and sign-off.
5. Be responsible for delivering the entire design flow from RTL coding to front-end implementation tasks.
6. Be responsible for the definition, effort estimation and tracking of your own work.
7. Participate in design and verification reviews and recommend improvements.
8. Have the opportunity to influence and advance our GPU design methodology.
9. Have the opportunity to lead, coach and mentor other members of the team.
10. Use leading edge integrated circuit verification techniques and methodologies such as formal property verification (FPV) working at both module level and the IP level.

About you

Committed to making your customers, stakeholders and colleagues successful, you’re an excellent communicator, listener and collaborator who builds trusted partnerships by delivering what you say, when you say. You’re curious, solutions-oriented and a world-class problem solver who constantly seeks opportunities to innovate and achieve the best possible outcome to the highest imaginable standard.

You will:

1. Have a proven track record of on-time delivery of high-quality, low-power, high-performance complex micro-architecture implementations.
2. Have experience in independently driving micro-architecture exploration activities that conclude to tangible and appropriate design specifications.
3. Have detailed knowledge on ASIC design methodologies, flows and tools.
4. Have significant experience in RTL design optimisation techniques and the ability to balance or trade-off complexity/timing/area while being able to expertly justify the motivation behind such decisions.
5. Have excellent understanding of verification challenges and be able to effectively support all verification activities.
6. Experience in synthesis, timing analysis and implementation techniques.
7. Be able to plan, estimate and track your own work.
8. Experience working on multiple projects at one time.
9. The skill to be able to communicate technical issues both in written form and verbally.

You might also have:

1. Graphics/GPU/CPU/SoC knowledge.
2. Experience of floorplanning, place and route methodologies.
3. Knowledge of SystemVerilog including classes (or similar language experience in writing assertions).
4. Experience of verification methodologies including UVM or formal experience.
5. Skill scripting in Python, TCL, Perl, C, C++.
