Job Description:
DescriptionThe Role -You'll define microarchitecture and design
logic in one of the most dynamic parts of a hyperscalar CPU: the
memory subsystem. You'll work with DV (Design Verification), SE
(Silicon Engineering), and performance architecture to build
best-in-class designs.What -the team wants you to know - -Cloud
computing is all about memory: optimizing latency, maximizing
bandwidth, and building innovative architectural features. Our team
has a start-up attitude: plenty of opportunities to learn and grow,
plenty of room for innovation. We also have great mentors: industry
veteran architects and designers who know how to build leadership
products. We don't do micromanagement. We don't require meetings to
