This role is within Intel’s Client Computing Group. CCG is a computing paradigm where services and data reside in scalable data centers, and those services and data can be accessed by any connected device over the Internet. Responsible for designing and optimizing processors, chipsets and other hardware for consumer devices while also working on the software ecosystem, including drivers and utilities that enhance user experience.
Your responsibilities may include but not be limited to:
- Performs physical design implementation of DDRIP designs with focus on Static Timing Analysis & Timing Closure.
- Conducts all aspects of the physical design flow including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, floor planning, static timing analysis, power/clock distribution, reliability, and power and noise analysis at the block level
- Conducts verification and signoff including formal equivalence verification, static timing analysis, reliability verification, static and dynamic power integrity, layout verification, electrical rule checking, and structural design checking.
- Analyzes results and makes recommendations to fix violations for current and future product architecture.
- Possesses expertise in various aspects of structural and physical design, including physical clock design, timing closure, constraints debug, coverage analysis, multiple power domain analysis, placing, routing, synthesis, and DFT using industry standard EDA tools.
- Optimizes design to improve product level parameters such as power, frequency, and area. Participates in the development and improvement of physical design methodologies and flow automation.
The Physical Design Engineer should possess the following attributes:
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Willingness to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
- Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
- Ability to lead task forces to resolve problems
