Senior Design Engineer, MMU and TLB
TachyumJob Title
Senior Design Engineer, MMU and TLB
Role Summary
The Senior Design Engineer will implement, debug, and optimize the memory management unit (MMU) and translation lookaside buffer (TLB) for a high-performance processor. The role is part of the hardware design team responsible for memory and system-level functionality.
Work includes RTL implementation, microarchitectural decisions, and collaboration with system architects, verification, and synthesis teams to meet power, performance, and area targets.
Experience Level
Senior — approximately 5–8 years of relevant experience. Strong candidates with somewhat less experience may be considered.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities focus on MMU/TLB design, verification support, and integration into a high-performance processor.
- Implement MMU/TLB features and lookup engines in RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
- Debug functional issues and resolve timing (STA), CDC, and lint problems.
- Optimize designs for power, performance, and area in deep-submicron processes.
- Collaborate with system architects, verification, synthesis, and tooling teams to integrate and validate MMU/TLB functionality.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience:
- 5–8 years of experience in MMU, TLB, or related memory-management design.
- Practical experience with memory management units, lookup engines, TLBs, and control logic.
- Good understanding of system architecture and power/performance tradeoffs.
- Design experience in deep-submicron technology and low-power techniques.
- Experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog, synthesis flows, static timing analysis (STA), CDC, and lint tools.
- Knowledge of programming/scripting languages (e.g., Python, Tcl) is a plus.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
