Your Role and ResponsibilitiesAs a Logic designer, you will be responsible for design and development of the POR Boot Engine, Boot security features, and the test & debug infrastructure for very high performance Processors chips. You will be part of the design team which will deliver this critical infrastructure to IBM’s Mainframe and POWER processors.- Develop the features, present the proposed architecture in High level design discussions
- Develop micro-architecture, Design RTL, Collaborate with the 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
- Estimate the overall effort to develop the feature

Required Technical and Professional Expertise
3-10 years of work experience in one or more areas:
- Architecture/ microarchitecture/ RTL Logic design of Test and Debug infrastructure for Processors/ SoCs
- Security architecture- Self Boot engine, Secure boot
- Clock controllers design. Good understanding of clocks and reset architecture.
- Timing constraints, timing closure. Experience as front end logic designer with sync and async timing closure for large designs, working with other designers, PD team.
- Experience in SPI, I2C, serial communication protocols. OTP, on-chip sensors
- Power management Architecture/ microarchitecture/ Logic design – Dynamic power estimation, Power capping, droop mitigation logic development. Preferred – Prior experience with designs with multiple power states.
- Proficient in HDLs- VHDL must/ Verilog
- Experience in working with architecture/ FW/ SW teams
- Experience in low power logic design.
- Experience in working with verification, validation, physical design teams for design closure including test plan reviews and verification coverage
- Good understanding of Physical Design, and able to collaborate with physical design team for floor-planning, placement of blocks for achieving high-performance design
