Server Architect

Role Overview

• 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
• Create tests, test plans, and testing infrastructure for new architectures and features, conduct simulations, and analyze test results using advanced statistical models and data predictions
• 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

Requirements
