**Introduction** At IBM, work is more than a job - it’s a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you’ve never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world’s most challenging problems? If so, lets talk. **Your role and responsibilities** * Lead the architecture, design and development of Processor Core Vector-Scalar Execution unit for high-performance IBM Systems. * Architect and design Fixed point/Floating point/Vector/SIMD/Crypto instructions of a high performance processor CPU * Develop the features, present the proposed architecture in the High level design discussions * Estimate the overall effort to develop the feature. * Estimate silicon area and wire usage for the feature. * Develop micro-architecture, Design RTL, Collaborate with other Core units, * Verification, DFT, Physical design, Timing, FW, SW teams to develop the feature * Signoff the Pre-silicon Design that meets all the functional, area and timing goals * Participate in post silicon lab bring-up and validation of the hardware * Lead a team of engineers, guide and mentor team members, represent as Logic * Design Lead in global forums. **Required technical and professional expertise** * 8 or more years of demonstrated experience in architecting and designing Execution unit of CPU * Hands on experience of implementing Arithmetic/Crypto/SIMD functions * Deep expertise in Out of Order, Super Scalar, Multi-Threaded Core Architecture and ISA * Experience with high frequency, instruction pipeline designs * At least 1 generation of Processor Core silicon bring up experience * In depth understanding of industry microprocessor designs (e.g., x86, ARM, or RISC-V processor designs) * Proficiency of RTL design with Verilog or VHDL * Nice to haves * Knowledge of instruction dispatch and load/store units * Knowledge of verification principles and coverage * High-level knowledge of Linux operating system * Knowledge of one object oriented language and scripting language * Understanding of Agile development processes * Experience with DevOps design methodologies and tools * **Preferred technical and professional experience** None IBM is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer.
