CPU Designer

Microarchitecture Definition: Translates high-level instruction sets (like x86 or RISC-V) into specific functional blocks, data paths, and control logic. [1, 2] RTL Coding: Writes and implements register-transfer level descriptions using hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL. [1, 2] Verification & Testing: Collaborates with validation teams to run simulations and ensure the logic executes commands without errors under various power and performance limits. [1, 2] Physical Optimization: Balances trade-offs across power, performance, area, and time to market (PPAT) alongside physical layout teams. [1, 2]
