About the Job

Requirements

  • Must have either a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience in CPU physical design and timing verification.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience in synthesis and auto place-and-route flows on multi-voltage, high-frequency designs, including custom polygon editing.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience with Tcl scripting.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience in noise, crosstalk, and on-chip variation analysis.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience with floorplanning, physical design, and timing closure.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience with formal equivalence, design-rule checking/layout-versus-schematic, IR, and electromigration checks.
  • Must be able to work independently and at various levels of abstraction.

Responsibilities

  • Implement CPU core blocks from synthesis through post-layout verification and tapeout.
  • Develop custom constraints to drive synthesis and auto place-and-route tools to implement and optimize the design for timing and power goals.
  • Work closely with microarchitecture, RTL, and custom circuit teams to converge the design to project targets.
  • Perform logic synthesis and place-and-route for core IP blocks.
  • Perform floorplanning and routing studies and implementation.
  • Conduct block- and subsystem-level timing analysis.
  • Work on low-power techniques and power reduction in the subsystem.
  • Close physical verification for blocks and subsystems.
  • Write scripts for data analysis and recipe creation.

Desired Qualifications

  • At least 6 years of experience with the required skill sets.
  • Experience with Fusion Compiler, DCT, DCE, ICC2, RedHawk, ICV, Conformal, Calibre, PrimeTime, or StarRCXT.
  • Experience with Cadence tools; this is preferred but not required.

About the Company

Intel

Pioneers microprocessors, CPUs for PCs

Intel designs and manufactures semiconductor chips, with a focus on microprocessors for personal computers, servers, and other devices. Its core product is the CPU on a single silicon chip, which executes instructions, handles arithmetic and logic operations, and coordinates the work of other computer components. Intel originated in memory chips but shifted decisively to microprocessors in the 1980s, becoming a central supplier for the PC era after the IBM partnership and its famous x86 processor line. This shift, large-scale manufacturing, and close ties with computer makers set Intel apart from competitors who remained focused on memory or other components. The company aims to power computing by delivering high-performance, energy-efficient silicon solutions that drive a wide range of computing devices and applications.
