The Junior Senior Physical Design Engineer (CPU) role involves contributing to the development of next-generation CPU cores for various platforms including client, server, IoT, and AI. The position offers hands-on experience in high-performance and power-efficient processor design, working closely with experienced engineers. The role focuses on supporting physical design execution and gaining exposure to the full RTL-to-GDS flow. Candidates will also have opportunities for continuous learning and collaboration within a diverse team environment.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering or a related field with 2+ years of educational or work experience, or a Master's degree in the same field with 3+ months of educational experience.
• Experience with integrated circuit design tools such as Synopsys or Cadence, including logic synthesis, place and route, static timing analysis, and design closure.
• Knowledge of chip physical design verification including formal equivalence, timing, electrical rules, DRC/LVS, noise, and electro-migration checks.
• Proficiency in scripting in an interpreted language, with a minimum of TCL and at least one other language such as Perl, Python, or Ruby.
• Experience with the synthesis of a digital logic block integrated into a large SoC or IP.

• Support physical design execution for CPU core or subsystem blocks under guidance.
• Assist with synthesis, place and route (PnR), and physical verification tasks.
• Perform analysis for timing, power, and design rule compliance.
• Debug and resolve design issues with mentorship from senior engineers.
• Contribute to script and flow development using languages like TCL and Python.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including RTL design, verification, and full-chip integration.
• Document design work and contribute to best practices and design flows.

• 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.
