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

• Assist in developing and exploring SoC micro‑architectural features across a range of IP/subsystems, with an emphasis on power optimization (static/dynamic) while meeting performance, area, and frequency targets
• Collaborate closely with architecture, verification, silicon engineering, and performance teams throughout the design process to drive measurable convergence
• Learn and contribute to RTL implementation and SoC integration, including practical ownership of design readiness for downstream flows
• Support and/or build automation for RTL integration tooling, leveraging software development skills (e.g., scripting, robust build/integration utilities, regression support)
• Collaborate with architecture team to define and document the microarchitecture and implement RTL for SoC blocks
• Integrate third‑party IPs into the SoC subsystems
• Collaborate with the design verification team for functional verification of the design blocks
• Collaborate with the silicon engineering team for timing closure and other convergence activities of the design blocks

• Relevant internships or academic projects involving digital logic design, microarchitecture, or SoC development
• Familiarity with hardware description languages such as System Verilog 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
• Object‑oriented programming skills are a plus
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
