Physical Design Engineer for Core IP

About This Role

• As a member of Intel's CPU development team, you will have a front seat in designing the latest core IP to power cutting edge compute processors across client, server, IOTG and AI.
• We innovate state of the art microprocessor architecture on the most advanced and latest process technologies with a focus on power efficiency.
• Our core designs are present in nearly all segments of intels compute roadmap.
• Job responsibilities include but are not limited to: Perform physical design implementation of custom CPU designs from RTL to GDS to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.
• Conduct 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.
• Possesse 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, low power synthesizable CPU.
• Optimize CPU design to improve product level parameters such as power, frequency, and area.
• Participate in the development and improvement of physical design methodologies and flow automation.
