Job description

The CPU Logic Design Engineer at Intel plays a vital role in designing and optimizing logic for cutting-edge processors. This position involves developing register transfer level (RTL) code and simulation for CPUs, contributing to architecture and microarchitecture features. The engineer will ensure design integrity and collaborate with SoC customers for seamless integration. This role is essential for driving innovation in performance and energy efficiency.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science with 7+ years of relevant experience; OR Master's degree with 5+ years of experience; OR PhD with 2+ years of experience.
  • 7+ years experience in RTL design using Verilog, V2K, or System Verilog.
  • 5+ years experience with modern energy-efficient and low-power logic design methods.
  • 5+ years experience in Cross-clock domain crossings and power aware design.
  • 3+ years experience in scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, or Python.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and optimize logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for the CPU.
  • Participate in defining the architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU design.
  • Write RTL and optimize logic for power, performance, area, and timing goals.
  • Ensure design integrity for physical implementation through effective strategies, tools, and methods.
  • Review verification plans to ensure design features are correctly validated and resolve failing RTL tests.
  • Document microarchitectural specifications (MAS) for the CPU features.
  • Collaborate with SoC customers to ensure seamless integration and high-quality performance of the CPU block.

Benefits

  • Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
