Job description

As a CPU Logic Design Engineer at Intel, you will be instrumental in designing and optimizing logic for advanced processors. Your work will involve developing register transfer level (RTL) code and simulation for the CPU, contributing to the creation of cell libraries and CPU IP blocks. You will collaborate with various teams to ensure high-quality performance and integration of CPU designs. This role offers the opportunity to influence next-generation processor innovations and contribute to Intel's mission of engineering a brighter future.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science with 5+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 3+ years of experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in CPU RTL design using System Verilog.
  • 3+ years of experience with modern energy-efficient and low-power logic design methods.
  • 3+ years of experience in cross-clock domain crossings and power-aware design.
  • 3+ years of 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.
