SOC Physical Design Engineer

About This Role

• The Role and Impact As a SOC Physical Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Intel's cutting-edge designs and driving innovation in advanced technology nodes.
• You will be instrumental in delivering complex blocks and subsystems from RTL to GDSII, ensuring high-performance, low-power solutions that power Intel's next-generation platforms.
• This role offers you the opportunity to contribute to the design and optimization of silicon products that define Intel's leadership in the semiconductor industry.
• Your work will directly impact the success of Intel's products, enabling world-class performance, efficiency, and scalability.
• Key Responsibilities - Perform Logic Synthesis, Floor-planning, Placement and Routing, Timing Analysis, and Optimization for complex designs spanning 2-3 million instances. - Ensure seamless integration and delivery of blocks or subsystems to the SOC level, achieving DRC/LVS clean-up and meeting stringent quality standards. - Conduct IR/EM analysis, formal verification, and convergence for high-performance designs operating at frequencies close to 2GHz and within lower technology nodes (7nm or below). - Utilize industry-leading EDA tools from Synopsys or Cadence, including DC, ICC2/Fusion/Innovus, Primetime, Calibre/ICV, and Conformal/Formality. - Implement efficient Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) strategies tailored to design-specific requirements. - Develop and execute scripts to automate design flows and optimize processes, ensuring disciplined execution and efficient project timelines. - Proactively debug design issues, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive technical solutions to closure. - Adapt to dynamic changes in RTL and design requirements while maintaining professionalism and teamwork.
