Principal CPU Microarchitect RISC V and AI Compute

You will profile AI workloads to identify execution bottlenecks and define CPU performance requirements. You will drive the microarchitecture of custom RISC-V CPU cores, balance performance, power, and area targets, design custom instructions, and collaborate on hardware-software co-design for AI compute.

Responsibilities

• Profile and analyze AI workloads to identify execution bottlenecks
• Translate workload insights into CPU performance requirements
• Drive microarchitecture for custom RISC-V CPU cores
• Balance performance, power, and area targets
• Design and implement custom instructions
• Collaborate on compiler, software, and hardware co-design

Requirements

• 10+ years of expertise in CPU performance modeling and microarchitecture design
• Knowledge of computational and memory bottlenecks in modern AI workloads and large language models
• Ability to architect custom instruction set extensions and validate performance gains against real-world workloads
• Familiarity with open-source RISC-V cores or AI-based agentic workflows is preferred
• Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology
