CPU Architecture and RTL Design

Overview

As a CPU Core MicroArchitect/RTL Design Engineer at AMD, you will help shape the next generation of high-performance cores, focusing on the core pipeline and cache subsystem. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to define architecture, verify designs, and drive power efficiency and timing convergence, from RTL to post-silicon support. You’ll work at the cutting edge of CPU technology within a collaborative, results-driven environment. This role offers the opportunity to influence AMD’s ambitious CPU roadmap and contribute to technology that moves the world forward.
