About the job

Summary

As a DTCO APR Engineer at Intel, you'll supervise a team of engineers in all aspects of SoC design, from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, timing, and power optimization. Responsibilities include conducting RTL synthesis and place and route experiments using internal and external tools to improve power, performance, and area (PPA) for Intel Architecture (IA/X86) and ARM IPs across various process nodes. You'll manage floorplan changes, analyze their impact on power, congestion, and timing, and predict scaling effects. Improving cell utilization, transistor density, and debugging tools are key aspects of this role. Analyzing power (dynamic and leakage), performance (setup and hold), critical path timing, and congestion reduction by utilizing available metal layers are also essential responsibilities.
Must have:
  • Bachelor's degree in relevant field
  • 1+ years of experience in silicon design/TFM development
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Perl, TCL, Shell)
  • Experience with industry-standard placement and routing CAD tools
  • RTL synthesis and place and route expertise
  • Power, performance, and area optimization
Good to have:
  • Floor planning and power grid setup
  • Clock methodologies, IR droop, and SI mitigation
  • Power and timing signoff conditions
  • Feasibility studies or technology pathfinding
  • AI/ML background
