CPU Architect

Welcome to Codasip

We believe Codasip is the most innovative processor solutions company. We take pride in designing and developing cutting-edge, high-performance, and energy-efficient CPU cores from scratch, and our own automated proprietary tools to fully customize them. We give our customers a unique competitive advantage by empowering their system-on-chip developers to build the most innovative products.

Our processor cores are based on the RISC-V open architecture. The potential for customizing RISC-V is unlocked with the Codasip Custom Compute approach: our unique architecture description language, CodAL, and the powerful automated processor design tool, Codasip Studio. These are at the heart of our unique and groundbreaking RISC-V processor solutions.

Founded in 2014, we've grown into a thriving and talented global community. Our IP engineering teams work from offices spread across Europe, including our first and largest design center in the beautiful city of Brno, Czechia. Across Europe, we already have design teams in Cambridge, Bristol, Munich, Villeneuve-Loubet, Barcelona, Thessaloniki, Heraklion and Athens. The Codasip team is also based close to its customers, which means we have dedicated sales and application engineers in the USA, Japan, Korea, and China.

Codasip is a private company backed by well-funded EU grants. Our products are already making a real impact, with billions of devices already in the market powered by our processor IP and tools.

Your role:

We're hiring a CPU Architect to join our core architecture team. This person would be working alongside Ben Fletcher, Tariq Kurd, and Mark Hill, as well as a growing team of architects on a range of projects. The role will focus on Out-of-Order core development, but will also cover performance modeling, vector machines, and future R&D work. There would also be an opportunity to work at the microarchitecture and RTL level, as well as next-generation architecture development.

Requirements

You will:

• Develop the design and specification of high-performance core architectures for Codasip’s future product roadmap
• Work closely with the design and verification teams to implement processor designs that achieve PPA and quality targets
• Build performance models  (of both current and next-generation technology) 
• Processor development in our architecture language (CodAL)
• Participate in and drive design and verification reviews

What we need:

• Extensive recent and relevant experience in core architecture development
• Deep understanding of CPU architecture and of advanced and high-performance pipeline concepts and design
• Experience in development of Out-of-order cores
• Good understanding of IP and SoC design and verification flows, and of silicon process technology and its limitations
• Recent hands-on development experience is a benefit
• Experience working to project deadlines
