Your Role and Responsibilities- As a Logic design lead in the IBM Systems division, you will be responsible for the micro architecture, design and development of a high-bandwidth, low-latency on-chip interconnect (NoC) and chip-to-chip interconnect and integration into high-performance IBM Systems.
- Design and architect different interconnect topologies as driven by bandwidth, latency, and RAS requirements
- Develop the features, present the proposed architecture in the High level design discussion
- 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
Required Technical and Professional Expertise
- 8 to 15 years of relevant experience
- At least 1 generation of processor interconnect design delivery leadership (eg UPI, axi, amba, NoC).
- Expertise of SMP coherency
- Experience in different on-chip interconnect topologies (e.g., mesh, crossbar)
- Understanding of various snoop and data network protocols
- Understanding of latency & bandwidth requirements and effective means of implementation
- Working knowledge of queuing theory numa/nuca architecture
- Proficient in HDLs- VHDL / Verilog
- Experience in High speed and Power efficient 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, wire layer usage and budgets, placement of blocks for achieving high-performance design
- Experience in leading uarch, RTL design teams for feature enhancements.
- Follow agile project leadership principles. Work with the team on estimation and execution plan.
- Ability to quickly understand issues spanning multiple functional domains, switch context frequently and provide solutions to problems, is necessary.
Requirements : Masters in VLSI with demonstrated experience in the micro architecture and design of state of art Processor features to enhance high performance secure system performance.
