Coherent Interconnect Microarchitecture & Logic Design - Full Time

RivosAustin, TXApril 12th, 2026
Rivos is on a mission to build the best RISC-V enterprise systems in the world with class leading performance, power, security and RAS features. We are seeking Interconnect/Fabric Design experts to join our team in building the best RISC-V compute systems in the world. Responsibilities Microarchitecture development and specification - from early high-level architectural exploration through micro architectural research and arriving at a detailed specification Development, assessment, and refinement of RTL design to target power, performance, area, and timing goals Validation - support test bench development and simulation for functional and performance verification Performance exploration and correlation - explore high performance strategies and validate that the RTL design meets targeted performance Design delivery - work with multi-functional engineering team to implement and validate physical design on the aspects of timing, area, reliability, testability and power Requirements Thorough knowledge of large scale on-chip coherent or non-coherent interconnect/fabric architecture Knowledge of one or more on-chip network protocols: AMBA, AXI, CHI, ACE, Tilelink, APB or similar protocols Knowledge of cache coherent memory systems and interconnect Knowledge of system caches and directory snoop filter protocols Familiarity with different on-chip network topologies: mesh, ring, crossbar, etc Understanding of high performance and low power microarchitecture techniques and trade-offs Proficiency in SystemVerilog or Verilog RTL coding Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implications Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools Education and Experience PhD, Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in technical subject area.
