CPU Research Engineer
We are currently hiring for an experienced CPU Researcher focusing on researching and developing novel techniques for improving CPU/GPU energy efficiency for one of the leading tech companies and their mobile device chip set.
You will be responsible for investigating performance and energy bottlenecks of the mobile CPU micro-architecture pipeline. You will be developing and exploring novel techniques for performance and energy software/hardware optimizations. The open position implies a wide range of research activities in collaboration with research centres across the UK towards improving the performance and energy efficiency of the companies heterogeneous chip powering mobile phones and other devices in the ecosystem.
In this role, you will have a chance to prototype the state-of-the-art in-house CPU design with integrated 5G module and participate in the development of a new generation of system software stack for the Edge eco-system.
This opportunity is an onsite working position, with the companies main office in Cambridge.
Key requirements:
- Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related discipline.
- Strong coding know-how, including C programming, C++, Python and knowledge of low level assembler programming languages.
- Understanding of CPU architecture and micro-architecture features (such as caches, MMU, SMP, coherency, CPU pipelines).
- Familiar with the ARM/RISC-V/MIPS architecture and the micro-architecture of current ARM/RISC-V CPU cores.
- Deep knowledge of micro-architectures and memory subsystems, and prior working experience or research of computer architectures and memory subsystems.
- Knowledge of the GEM5 simulation framework.
