Physical Design Engineer

About This Role

• Join our dynamic team as a Physical Design Engineer, where you'll play a pivotal role in delivering cutting-edge custom IP and SoC designs that drive Intel's innovative products.
• You'll be a key contributor to the physical design flow, ensuring that designs transition seamlessly from RTL to GDS and are optimized for manufacturing.
• By leveraging your technical expertise, you will directly impact the power, performance, and area of our designs, enabling Intel to maintain its leadership in the semiconductor industry.
• This position offers an exciting opportunity to work on advanced technology nodes and collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop next-generation solutions.
• Key Responsibilities Perform physical design implementation of custom IP and SoC designs, from RTL to GDSII finalization.
• Execute tasks in the physical design flow, including floorplanning, synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and static timing analysis.
• Conduct verification and signoff for formal equivalence, timing, reliability, power integrity, and layout.
• Identify, analyze, and resolve violations in timing, power, and noise to ensure optimal design quality.
• Collaborate on chip partitioning, pin placement, power distribution, and congestion mitigation to optimize physical layouts.
• Utilize and enhance design methodologies and automation flows to improve efficiency and accuracy.
• Leverage industry-standard EDA tools for tasks such as synthesis, routing, and timing closure (e.g., Fusion Compiler, IC Compiler II, PrimeTime).
• Perform ECO (Engineering Change Order) implementation and top-level physical verification signoff.
• Partner with cross-site and cross-functional teams to innovate and deliver results aligned with Intel's strategic goals.
