About the job

Summary

As a Physical Design Engineer at Intel, you'll be responsible for the physical design implementation of custom IP and SoC designs, taking them from RTL to GDS for manufacturing. This involves all aspects of the physical design flow, including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and various analyses (static timing, power/clock distribution, reliability, power and noise). You'll also conduct verification and signoff, analyzing results and recommending fixes. Expertise in structural and physical design, including physical clock design, timing closure, and use of EDA tools is crucial. Optimization of design parameters like power, frequency, and area is expected, along with participation in methodology development and flow automation. Excellent communication and problem-solving skills are essential.
Must have:
  • Physical design implementation (RTL to GDS)
  • Proficiency in EDA tools
  • Static timing analysis
  • CMOS transistor-level circuit fundamentals
  • VLSI hardware design
Good to have:
  • Verilog, VCS
  • Fusion Compiler, Primetime
  • Layout cleanup expertise
  • TCL, Python, Perl, or C++ programming
  • Circuit design
  • Computer architecture
Perks:
  • Competitive pay
  • Stock bonuses
  • Comprehensive benefits (health, retirement, vacation)
