"Define the end-to-end architecture for next-generation Intel CPUs spanning high-performance computing to ultra-low power products."

Job Description: The Role and Impact As a Principal Engineer in CPU Architecture, you will be at the forefront of developing and driving the end-to-end architectural specifications for cutting-edge, modular, and scalable CPUs that will power the next generation of computing. This role offers the unique opportunity to influence the technical direction of both Intel and the broader industry, ensuring our leadership in performance, power efficiency, and scalability. Your contributions will directly impact Intel's ability to deliver innovative solutions across diverse market segments, from high-performance computing to ultra-low power products. This is a pivotal position that combines technical strategy, architectural innovation, and leadership to shape the future of Intel CPUs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive the development of CPU architecture specifications, including hardware feature requirements and hardware-software interoperability throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Define and evaluate feasibility tradeoffs for performance, power, frequency, area, and features to meet CPU requirements across multiple segments.
  • Conceptualize, invent, and specify architectural and microarchitecture features that deliver optimized CPU requirements for varying use cases.
  • Develop and document new instructions to support emerging use cases, improve existing ones, and extend the instruction set architecture (ISA).
  • Model CPU performance and power, analyze current CPU bottlenecks, and explore novel approaches for future workloads.
  • Provide experimental proof-of-concept solutions to propose design alternatives that meet constraints related to performance, power, area, and timing.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including architects, design, verification, and validation engineers to execute project requirements seamlessly.
  • Deliver new microarchitecture definitions and resolve issues during feature implementation to improve CPU design and overcome challenges.
  • Influence and challenge cross-functional roadmaps while defining technology targets for future CPUs.
  • Mentor and develop technical leaders, foster community growth, and act as a change agent while exemplifying Intel values in every aspect of your work.
