About This Role
- The Opportunity For nearly a decade, Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab-together with a global ecosystem of 250+ research groups-has explored architectures, algorithms, and software inspired by the brain's extraordinary efficiency, scalability, and adaptability.
- Our Loihi series of research chips pioneered event-driven, sparse, and massively parallel neuro-inspired processing, fueling over 100 peer-reviewed publications that validate the promise of this novel approach.
- Now, we're entering an exciting new chapter: transforming these breakthroughs into real-world products that will power the coming era of physical AI systems-beyond the reach of GPUs and mainstream AI accelerators.
- If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of computing, from transistor-level innovation to software abstractions, join us.
- Help define the next wave of AI technology that harnesses the proven advantages of Intel's neuromorphic computing technology with the versatility demanded by modern AI workloads.
- Position Overview We are seeking an experienced design automation engineer passionate about driving innovation at the intersection between emerging semiconductor technology, physical AI and novel computing paradigms.
- Loihi's silicon design flow is unique in the industry combining high-performance asynchronous design methods with standard EDA tools for silicon implementation.
- You will help pioneer the tool flows and automation methods required to bring these novel designs from concept to silicon, developing new capabilities spanning front-end design, physical implementation, verification, and FPGA-based emulation.
- Candidates should be familiar with the entire silicon design lifecycle and adapt to the requirements of our custom flow.
- A strong software background and an openness to learning new technologies and methodologies, such as asynchronous design, is essential.
- Experience with the latest AI-driven automation, agentic engineering assistants, and generative AI development tools is expected and will be a key contributor to success in this role.
- Responsibilities • Enhance and maintain Loihi's asynchronous EDA tool flow by implementing design automation algorithms, software tools, utilities, and regression tests. • Support RTL designers, verification engineers and physical design engineers by providing automated solutions to achieve product quality and target KPIs. • Enable early SW development by setting up a scalable framework mapping silicon designs in simulation and emulation. • Write custom scripts to manipulate synthesis and physical design tools for low power/high performance custom designs.
Requirements
- Bachelors and 4+ years OR Masters and 2+ years of experience in developing and deploying production quality tools, flows and methods for silicon design. • 4+ years of experience in developing and maintaining the entire ASIC tool suite.
- E.g. synthesis, place and route, ATPG, FEV, RV, STA, LVS/DRC. • 4+ years of experience with scripting languages such as Perl, TCL, Python, etc. • 2+ years of experience in delivering multiple silicon tape-outs.
- Preferred qualifications • Strong System-Verilog/System-C/Object Oriented Programming background. • Experience with large scale FPGA platforms like HAPS and/or emulation frameworks like ZeBu. • 1+ year of experience using AI tools for setting up tool flows, debugging and improving overall productivity.
Benefits
- We offer a total compensation package that ranks among the best in the industry.
- It consists of competitive pay, stock bonuses, and benefit programs which include health, retirement, and vacation.
