Atom CPU Layout Design Engineer

About This Role

• This position requires candidates to upload a resume in English; you are welcome to upload multiple versions of your resume if you prefer but an English version of your resume will be required to be considered for this position.
• As an Atom CPU Layout Design Engineer, you will be part of a highly skilled team responsible for the design of future‑generation, high‑performance Intel Atom microprocessors.
• In this role, you will drive the physical implementation of a variety of memory compilers, custom IP blocks, and layout partitions that directly support Intel’s CPU products.
• You will work in a dynamic environment where design challenges are complex, assignments are broadly defined, and solutions often require creativity, deep technical knowledge, and strong problem‑solving skills.
• Your responsibilities will include, but will not be limited to: Ensuring all physical design implementations follow best‑in‑class layout methodologies and deliver highly efficient, high‑quality results.
• Independently performing and driving complex physical design assignments across multiple design stages.
• Working closely with circuit design engineers to interpret schematics and translate them into optimized physical layouts.
• Contributing across the full design flow—from leaf‑level cell layout to block‑level and top‑level integration.
• Partnering with SoC teams and cross‑site design groups to ensure alignment, reuse, and consistency across projects.
• Developing or enhancing layout scripts, macros, and automation solutions to improve productivity and design robustness (a strong plus).
• The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Prioritization and multitasking skills.
