Do Something Wonderful!

Intel put Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is obsessed with engineering and have a brighter future. Every day, we create world changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth. So, if you have a big idea, let's do something wonderful together. Join us, because at Intel, we are building a better tomorrow.

Who We Are

The world is transforming - and so is Intel. Here at Intel, we believe the world needs technology that can enrich the lives of every person on earth. We work every single day to design and manufacture silicon products that empower people's digital lives. Do you love to solve technical challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you enjoy working with cross functional teams to deliver solutions for products that impact customers’ lives? If so, come join us to do something wonderful.

Who you are

The role’s responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Performs physical design implementation of custom CPU designs from RTL to GDS to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.

• Conducts all aspects of the CPU 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.

• Conduct 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 improve current and future CPU microarchitectures closely collaborating with logic, circuit, architecture, and design automation teams.

• Possesses CPU specific expertise in various aspects of structural and physical design, including physical clock design, timing closure, coverage analysis, multiple power domain analysis, structured placement, routing, synthesis, and DFT.

• Works intimately with industry EDA vendors to build and enhance tool capabilities to design a highspeed, lowpower synthesizable CPU.

• Optimizes CPU 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.

Qualifications:

Minimum qualifications are required 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.  Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of relevant industry job experience, internship experience, and/or schoolwork/classes/research.
