Senior / Principal Hardware Engineer - United Kingdom - Codasip

Description

Codasip was founded on a simple belief – that we could bring together the brilliance of microprocessor architects and software engineers and capture it in tools that made design simpler, faster, and less expensive.

Codasip was born in 2014 with the mission of democratising processor design.

At the same time RISC-V was gaining traction, so it was natural for Codasip to embrace it as an Open Instruction Set Architecture.

About our UK Design Centres

Our UK design centres in Cambridge and Bristol were set up in early 2022 to develop high performance, low power embedded and application CPU cores from scratch.

We are embarking on clean-sheet designs, and need people who can establish high quality working practices as they explore new ground under the guidance of Kalvin Williams, the Senior CPU Design Manager.

These projects are highly complex, with usually one person being responsible for owning a portion of the design.
We're looking for Principal Hardware Engineers to join us either in our Cambridge or Bristol office. Responsible for the microarchitecture definition and implementation of RISC-V processors and extensions
Providing technical leadership to a small design team and mentoring of more junior members within the team
Processor development within the Codasip Architectural Language (CodAL)
Undertaking design synthesis and results analysis to ensure PPA targets can be met
Working closely with the verification team on verification planning, debugging, and final sign-off
Technical specification and documentation writing
Experience with digital circuit simulation
User knowledge of Linux
Knowledge of scripting languages (Shell, Bash, Python)
Advanced knowledge of computer systems and architecture
Experience of Synthesis, Design for Test and Timing Analysis
Knowledge of C/C++

Joining Codasip's founding UK team is a chance to challenge yourself to work on complicated projects and structure how we do design.

The best candidates for us are decisive, proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, opinionated yet collaborative and passionate about continuous improvement as we scale up and disrupt the semiconductor industry.

It is a hybrid role where you will be expected to be in the office a few days per week, with flexible work from home options available.
