Key Responsibilities
- Execute physical design implementation from RTL to GDS, including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, floor planning, static timing analysis, and power/clock distribution.
- Conduct verification and signoff, including formal equivalence verification, reliability verification, static and dynamic power integrity, layout verification, electrical rule checking, and timing analysis.
- Identify and resolve violations, making recommendations for current and future product architectures.
- Optimize designs to enhance metrics such as power, frequency, and area using industry-standard EDA tools.
- Develop and improve physical design methodologies, automation flows, and processes.
- Possess expertise in structural and physical design, including timing closure, physical clock design, and multiple power domain analysis.
- Define and apply constraints for hierarchical design integration and floor planning concepts.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet Intel's quality and performance standards.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field with 6+ years of relevant experience; or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or VLSI with 4+ years of relevant experience; or PhD with 2+ years of relevant experience.
- Proficiency in RTL-to-GDS flow, including synthesis, placement, routing, and design-for-test using industry-standard EDA tools.
- Advanced knowledge in timing methodology, constraints development, and timing convergence challenges.
- Hands-on experience with low-power designs, multiple power domains, and layout verification.
- Expertise in scripting languages such as Perl, TCL, or Python to enhance automation and design efficiency.
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong understanding of VLSI circuits, sub-micron CMOS technologies, and design techniques for high-speed, low-power digital circuits.
- Experience in computer architecture, logic design fundamentals, and hardware description languages such as Verilog or System Verilog.
- Leadership experience, including mentorship and driving teams toward success.
- Proven track record of delivering successful projects with complex design challenges.
Apply now to join Intel's world-class engineering team and become a driving force behind tomorrow's technological breakthroughs.
