About The Role

Are you ready to launch your career in SoC logic design and microarchitecture? At Ampere, we’re looking for a motivated SoC Logic Design Engineer with a master’s degree who is eager to apply their academic knowledge and/or prior internship experience to real-world CPU design challenges.

At Ampere, we build SoCs that power the future of AI computing. Our team embraces a start-up spirit—offering plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and innovate. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and mentors who are excited to help you develop your skills in a collaborative, fun, and fast-paced environment. We value creativity, independence, and teamwork—and yes, we also enjoy lunchtime runs, gaming, bouldering, and even debating the best way to cut a doughnut!

What You’ll Achieve

• Assisting in developing and exploring micro-architectural features for our SoC designs, focusing on optimizing power, performance, area, and frequency
• Working hand-in-hand with cross-functional teams, including verification, silicon engineering, architecture, and performance teams throughout the design process
• Expanding your knowledge of RTL design and implementation experience under the guidance of senior engineers
• Bringing your creativity and perspectives to design work groups and contribute fresh ideas to help build industry-leading hardware
• Close collaboration with the architecture team to define and document the microarchitecture and implement RTL for SoC blocks
• Integration of third party IPs into the SoC subsystems
• Partnership with the design verification team for functional verification of the design blocks
• Collaboration with the silicon engineering team for timing closure and other convergence activities of the design blocks
  
  

About You

• Relevant internships or academic projects involving digital logic design, microarchitecture, or SoC development
• Familiarity with hardware description languages such as SystemVerilog or VHDL and RTL design principles
• Understanding of high-speed bus architectures (e.g., AMBA, CHI) is a plus but not required
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-paced team environment
• Enthusiasm for learning and growing your technical expertise
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
