About Datapath Architect

  Job Description

  Intel’s Xe IP Engineering drive to best-in-class Graphics, Media and Display IP requires expert implementations of a vast range of numerical algorithms. The quality of our numerical hardware IP is determined by architecture, micro-architecture, algorithm, number format selection, precision, accuracy, RTL implementation, gate level optimization and ultimately physical placement. At each step of the process the capacity for orders of magnitude change to final power, performance and area is reduced.

  The Graphics Numerical Hardware & System Level Design group works on all aspects of numerical hardware design from machine readable specifications, algorithm design, modelling in various languages including C++, RTL creation and optimization with formal verification applied through-out. The group works on high level synthesis and system level design in general. The group operates as an applied research group and internal consultancy working with and enabling the various teams architecture, micro-architecture, modelling, design, verification and validation. As an applied research group everything we do is novel and used in production, we academically & industrially publish, patent and change execution. We create and use research tools in house to improve all aspects of hardware design, we super use existing EDA tools, collaborate with vendor R&D to improve those tools and drive vendors to productize entirely new features.

  NSD is built on four pillars: consultancy (product facing engagements), tools (in house, vendor, hybrid), verticals (domain specific tool chain for particular numerical hardware applications) and our research program (collaborations with key academics and we fund PhD students who are members of the group at the same time as conducting directly relevant PhD research).

  NSD was founded on the premise that deep mathematical and logical reasoning, and research in general can deliver significant hardware benefits in terms of reliability, speed, area, power efficiency and execution. As an internal consultancy we work to extract the true necessary requirements, phrase the right design problem, explore the design space and fully formally prove the correctness of experimental designs. Quality means that challenging legacy decisions comes with the territory, innovation and insight are prized and every bit matters.

  The Opportunity:

  As part of expanding the group, we are looking to hire talented individuals who will share our passion for system level design and implementing numerical algorithms in hardware and our value of quality, innovation and insight. With breadth, depth, applied research, internal customer influence and engagement and offering a unique view of Intel's GPU IP and beyond, this role offers a rare opportunity to become and/or enhance your position as a true subject matter expert.

  You will have the following responsibilities:

  Work with architects & micro-architects on determining application-level quality for numerical algorithms within graphics, media and display hardware IP

  Determine, document and sign-off algorithm and accuracy requirements

  Work with RTL teams and/or our High-Level Synthesis to determine & implement optimized micro-architectures

  Invent new techniques and methods for numerical hardware implementation & optimization from algorithm down to gate level

  Work with formal verification engineers to prove end to end correctness

  Educate NSD, the division and Intel on best practices on hardware algorithm codesign

  Work with the group’s tool owners on generalizing and automating your numerical hardware inventions

  Drive our Datapath library initiative and its use in high level synthesis, commission and drive the creation of bespoke HLS (‘verticals’) to enable your consultancy projects

  Produce patentable work in algorithm design, tools and methodologies in a research and invention focused environment
