Job Description:

Are you interested in building the next generation of high-performance, power-efficient CPUs?

Join Intel as a CPU Physical Design Engineer and begin your career working on advanced processor technology. In this early-career role, you will work alongside experienced engineers and contribute to the physical design and verification of CPU designs from RTL to GDSII.

You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools and develop expertise across physical design areas including synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, clock implementation, static timing analysis, power optimization, and physical verification.

As part of the CPU Physical Design team, you will collaborate with engineers across logic design, architecture, circuits, and design automation while developing the technical expertise required to solve increasingly complex CPU design challenges.

What You’ll Do

Key responsibilities will include but not limited to:

Implement physical design and verification flows for custom CPU designs, ranging from RTL synthesis to GDS generation, custom and memory designs.

Perform verification and signoff processes such as formal equivalence verification, layout verification, reliability verification, and timing/power integrity analysis.

Collaborate with logic, architecture, circuit, and design automation teams to identify opportunities for design improvements and optimize product-level parameters such as power, frequency, and area.

Build and refine physical design methodologies and automation workflows to streamline the design process.

Work closely with EDA vendors to enhance tool capabilities for high-speed, low-power CPU design.

Behavioral traits that we are looking for:

Learning agility and curiosity: Eager to learn new technologies, tools, and CPU physical design methodologies.

Problem solving: Approaches technical challenges analytically and works through problems in a structured manner.

Collaboration: Works effectively with others and values different technical perspectives.

Initiative and ownership: Proactively seeks information, asks thoughtful questions, and takes responsibility for assigned work.

Communication: Clearly communicates technical ideas, questions, results, and challenges.

Attention to detail: Demonstrates accuracy and quality when analyzing technical information and completing engineering tasks.

Adaptability: Able to learn and grow within a fast-paced technical environment as design requirements and priorities evolve.

Intel invests in our people and offers a complete and competitive package of benefits employees and their families through every stage of life.
