Job Posting Title: Staff RTL Design Engineer (FuSa/RAS)


The Role:

As a FuSa/RAS design engineer at SiFive, you will be contributing to an overall FuSa/RAS solution portfolio that is seamless, coherent and extensible, whilst extending it across a widely configurable RISC-V IP and unique development environment. We are looking for people who are as excited as we are about working in a dynamic, collaborative environment to bring new and innovative hardware IP to market quickly - the smart way.

Responsibilities:

  • Architect, design and implement in Chisel new Fusa/RAS features for RISC-V CPU core generators.

  • Support the FuSa/RAS architects in performing the required safety analysis and deriving the set of requirements to enable the SiFive IP Portfolio to detect failures, report them and enable smarter reactions.

  • Perform initial verification and work with the design verification team to create and execute thorough verification test plans.

  • Work with the physical implementation team to implement and optimise physical design to meet frequency, area, power and functional safety goals.

  • Create documentation (including functional safety documentation) to a high standard and collaborate across teams and disciplines.

Requirements:

  • Masters or higher degree in Electronic Engineering or Computer Science OR a degree in a related field with a strong background in code development.

  • 5+ years of RTL design or related design experience.

  • Academic or professional experience with CPU RTL design in Chisel, Verilog, System Verilog or VHDL.

  • Knowledge of at least one object-oriented or functional programming language and willingness to adopt Chisel hardware generator design.

  • Attention to detail and a focus on high-quality code and documentation.

  • Ability to work well with others and share the belief that engineering is teamwork.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Scala and/or Chisel is a plus.

  • Experience with Functional Safety and/or RAS design is a plus.

  • Knowledge of verification principles, formal or UVM testbenches is a plus.

  • Knowledge of RISC-V architecture.

Location:

  • Preferably Cambridge (hybrid)
