CPU-SoC Structural Design Engineer

About This Role

• The Role and Impact As a Physical Design Engineer, you will play a key role in implementing and verifying complex structural physical designs for Intel's next-generation Client CPU System-on-Chip (SoC).
• Your work will involve tasks such as synthesis, floor planning, power-grid designs, place-and-route, and timing analysis.
• This role is instrumental in ensuring the delivery of advanced SoC designs using cutting-edge process technologies in the era of hyperscale computing.
• Business Group You will join the Silicon and Platform Engineering Group (SPE), a global team responsible for designing and delivering leading-edge silicon solutions.
• The group plays a pivotal role in enabling Intel's leadership in semiconductor technology by innovating advanced design processes and methodologies that form the foundation of Intel's product excellence.
• Key Responsibilities - Implement structural physical designs, including synthesis, floor planning, power-grid, and clock tree designs. - Perform place-and-route (PnR), static timing analysis (STA), timing budgeting, and closure. - Conduct RC extraction, design-for-manufacturability (DFM) analysis, and design rule check (DRC) clean-up. - Verify physical designs using functional equivalency verification (FEV), timing/performance verification (PV), signal integrity/noise analysis, layout design rules verification (LV), and reliability verification (RV). - Optimize power usage and ensure convergence during the design process. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define structural design methodologies and develop innovative design flows.
