We work every single day to design and manufacture silicon products that empower people's digital lives. Come join us and do something wonderful.

The Role:

As a CPU Physical Design Engineer, you will be a vital member of Intel's E-Core/Atom microprocessor design team, shaping the future of high-performance CPUs. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, solving complex design challenges, and optimizing CPU designs to deliver industry-leading performance-per-watt solutions. Your work will directly contribute to driving innovation, enabling advanced computing platforms, and supporting Intel's mission to enrich the lives of every person on earth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Qualify and validate new PDK versions, standard cell libraries using backend design environment for RTL2GDS (Synthesis & APR) and custom verification flows.
• Conduct verification and signoff processes, including formal equivalence verification, static timing analysis, reliability verification, and physical verification tasks like DRC/LVS, noise analysis, and electro migration checks.
• Manage internal Design Data Management repositories used by the design teams.
• Execute all aspects of the CPU physical design flow, including synthesis, floor planning, place and route, static timing analysis, power analysis, reliability, and noise analysis to maintain stable design environment.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including logic, circuit, and design automation teams, to improve current and future CPU microarchitectures.
• Work alongside industry EDA vendors to enhance tool capabilities and methodologies for designing high-speed, low-power CPUs.
• Participate in the development and improvement of physical design methodologies and flow automation processes.
• Develop scripts to automate design implementation stages, verification tasks, and quality analysis.

Qualifications:

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Experience listed below would be obtained through a combination of your degree, research and or relevant previous job and or internship experiences.
